George,

My understanding is the FAA requires "A Type-Certificated Engine/Propel= ler=20 Combination". to qualify for the 25 hour test period.

Does that mean that a certified bird must be out there with the same ex= act=20 engine and propeller? What about an STC for a certain propeller on tha= t=20 engine? I took no chances and found a Type Certificate Data Sheet= =20 with my engine and propeller combination and had it ready at my DAR=20 inspection. My IO-550N and the new Hartzell Scimtar propeller are exac= tly=20 what flies on the Cirrus SR22, right down to the last little number and=20 letter.

The DAR requested the engine model and the propeller model a couple day= s=20 before our inspection. I'm not sure how much looking he did, my guess=20= is=20 he has some searchable database of engine/propeller combinations that are=20 certified. Or maybe he just saw Continental and Hartzell? I doub= t it=20 though, he was pretty thorough.
