With reference to RT13-100 and 13-101 regarding the oil consumption curves V.3228 and V.3239 for the Viper Mk.632-41and 43 engines respectively, we make the following comments: 1 Test experience has shown that these curves are inaccurate and no longer used. 2 The oil consumption should be checked to the requirements of the appropriate schedule.
