GENERAL. (PA-28RT-201T) (CONTINENTAL)
The purpose of this section is to provide instructions for the removal, minor repair, service and installation
of the engine and components. For instructions on major repairs and overhauls, consult the appropriate
publication of the component manufacturer.
DESCRIPTION.
The PA-28RT-201T is powered by a Teledyne Continental TS1O-360-FB turbocharged, overhead valve,
air cooled, horizontally opposed, direct drive, wet sump engine rated at 200 hp from sea level to 12,000 feet
density altitude.
The engine is enclosed by a cowling consisting of an upper, lower and nose section.
The propeller is a Hartzell constant speed, controlled by a governor mounted on the engine supplying oil
through the propeller shaft at various pressures. Oil pressure from the governor moves the blades into high
pitch (low RPM ). The centrifugal twisting moment of the blade also tends to move the blades into low pitch.
Refer to Chapter 28 for description of fuel system and primer operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING.
Troubles peculiar to the power plant are listed in Chart 7101, along with the probable causes and suggested
remedies. When troubleshooting engine, propeller or fuel system, always ground the magneto primary circuit
before performing any checks.
