Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard

tolerances up to 50C (122F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature
up to 52C (125F) measured at the fuel filter base.
Power rated in accordance with NMMA procedure as
crankshaft power. Reduce crankshaft power by 3% for
propeller shaft power.
