Appendix II to Part 1039—Steady-State Duty Cycles

(a) The following duty cycles apply for constant-speed engines:

(1) The following duty cycle applies for discrete-mode testing:

D2 mode number Engine speed Torque
(percent) 1

2 Engine governed 75 0.25
3 Engine governed 50 0.30
4 Engine governed 25 0.30
5 Engine governed 10 0.10
1 The percent torque is relative to maximum test torque.

(2) The following duty cycle applies for ramped-modal testing:
