14 C.F.R. § 29.939 Turbine engine operating characteristics.
Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
(a) Turbine engine operating characteristics must be investigated in flight to determine that no adverse characteristics(suchasstall,surge,of flameout) are present, to a hazardous degree, during normal and emergency operation within the range of operating limitations of the rotorcraft and of the engine. (b) The turbine engine air inlet system may not, as a result of airflow distortion during normal operation, cause vibration harmful to the engine. (c) For governor-controlled engines, it must be shown that there exists no hazardous torsional instability of the drive system associated with critical combinations of power, rotational speed, and control displacement.
