Summary of FAA Airworthiness Directives

AD # Service Document(s) Effectivity/Compliance

Note 1: Underlined AD numbers are linked to the actual AD.

Note 2: This listing of airworthiness directives is compiled from five different sources, from the FAA:
1) ADs for small aircraft (volume I); 2) ADs for large aircraft (volume II); 3) Old ADs prior to
1980 are published in a separate volume; 4) Subscription to newly released ADs for large
aircraft and; 5) Subscription to newly released ADs for small aircraft. There is no single source
that provides a complete listing of all ADs affecting Hartzell Propellers.

2013-15-04 HC-ASB-61-338 This AD applies to Hartzell Propeller, Inc. propeller models

HC-(1,D)2(X,V,MV)20-7, HC-(1,D)2(X,V,MV)20-8, and
HC-(1,D)3(X,V,MV)20-8 with a propeller hydraulic bladder
diaphragm, part number (P/N) B-119-2, without tab, installed.

2009-22-03 HC-SB-61-269 Rev. 6 The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive

HC-SB-61-323 (AD) for Hartzell Propeller Inc. ()HC-()2Y()-() series propellers
with non-suffix serial number (SN) propeller hubs installed
on Lycoming O-, IO-, LO-, and AEIO-360 series reciprocating
engines. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive eddy
current inspections (ECIs) of the front cylinder half of the
propeller hub for cracks and removing cracked hubs from service
before further flight. In addition, that AD allows installation
of an improved design propeller hub (suffix SN ‘’A’’ or ‘’B’’)
as terminating action to the repetitive ECI. This AD requires
the same actions but changes the affected propeller series
designation to ()HC-()2Y(K,R)-() series propellers with non-suffix
SN propeller hubs and suffix SN letter ‘’E’’ propeller hubs. This
AD also expands the engine eligibility to include Lycoming LIO-,
TO-, LTO-, AIO-, and TIO-360-series engines. This AD results
from the need to make changes to the affected series designation
of propellers, to expand the engine applicability, and to respond
to comments received on AD 2006-18-15. We are issuing this AD
to prevent failure of the propeller hub causing blade separation
and subsequent loss of airplane control.
2009-10-14 HC-ASB-61-313, Rev. 3 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell Propeller Inc. steel hub turbine propellers, with any
counterweight slug attachment bolts, part number (P/N)
B–3386–14H, LFC manufacturing lot 224, installed. This AD
requires identifying and removing all counterweight slug
attachment bolts, P/N B–3386–14H, LFC manufacturing lot 224,
from service and installing serviceable bolts. This AD results from
two reports of failure of the bolts that attach the propeller blade
counterweight slug, and separation of the counterweight slug
which led to propeller vibration and damage to the propeller
spinner. We are issuing this AD to prevent separation of the
propeller blade counterweight slug, which could lead to injury and
damage to the airplane.

2008-13-28 HC-ASB-61-297 Rev. 3 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell Propeller left-hand rotating ( )HC-( )(2,3)Y(K,R)-2 two-
and three-bladed, aluminum hub, ‘’compact’’ series propellers,
with hubs having a non-suffix serial number, and lubrication
holes located on the shoulder of the hub blade socket. These
propellers are installed on Lycoming Engines LIO-360 series
and LO-360 series reciprocating engines installed on Piper
Aircraft, Inc. Seneca PA-34-200 and Seminole PA-44-180, and
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 76 Duchess, airplanes.
This AD requires initial and repetitive eddy current inspections
(ECI), of the area around the lubrication holes of the hub blade
sockets. This AD results from four reports of propeller hub cracks,
including two in-flight blade separation events. We are issuing
this AD to prevent failure of the propeller hub, which could result
in blade separation and loss of control of the airplane.

2007-26-09 HC-SB-61-101D Rev. 2, This AD supersedes AD 2002-09-08, Amendment 39-12741.

HC-SB-61-118F Rev. 1, This AD applies to all Hartzell Propeller Inc. models
SL 69 ( )HC-( )( )Y( )-( )( )( ) compact series constant speed or
feathering propellers with Hartzell manufactured ‘’Y’’ shank
aluminum blades. These propellers are used on, but not limited
to models as specified in this AD. This AD results from operators
requesting clarification of certain portions of AD 2002-09-08.
We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the propeller blade
from fatigue cracks in the aluminum blade shank radius, which
can result in damage to the airplane and loss of airplane control.
Compliance is as stated in this AD.
2007-24-14 HC-SB-61-295 Rev. 3 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell Propeller Inc. Model HC-E5N-3( ), HC-E5N-3( )(L),
and HC-E5B-5( ) propellers. This AD requires a one time eddy
current inspection of the propeller hub mounting bolt holes and
replacement of the propeller hub, if cracked. This AD results from
the discovery of a five-bladed propeller hub with a large crack on
the mounting flange of the hub. We are issuing this AD to prevent
propeller hub failure, blade separation, damage to the airplane,
and possible loss of airplane control.
2007-08-02 HC-SB-61-287 Rev. 4 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell Propeller Inc. model HC-E4A-3( )/E10950() propellers.
This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections and rework
of the propeller blade retention radius, and replacement of the
propeller blade thrust bearing, for each blade. This AD results
from reports of excessive propeller vibration and of damaged or
broken propeller blade thrust bearings found during routine and
investigative propeller disassembly. We are issuing this AD to
prevent propeller blade separation, damage to the airplane, and
possible loss of airplane control.

2006-24-07 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hartzell Propeller Inc. HC, BHC, and PHC series propellers; and
McCauley Propeller Systems controllable propellers serviced
by Oxford Aviation Services Limited, doing business as CSE
Aviation, in the United Kingdom between September 1998
and October 2003. This AD requires inspecting the propeller
blades and other critical propeller parts for wear and mechanical
damage. This AD results from findings that CSE Aviation failed
to perform some specific inspections and repairs. We are issuing
this AD to detect unsafe conditions that could result in a propeller
blade separating from the hub and loss of control of the airplane.
2006-22-12 HC-SB-61-275 Rev. 2 The FAA is superseding an existing AD (AD 2004-22-12) for
certain Hartzell Propeller Inc. (formerly Hartzell Propeller
Products Division) Model HC-B5MP-3( )/M10282A( )+6 five
bladed propellers. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive
torque check inspections on the attach bolts on certain model
Hartzell HC-B5MP-3 five bladed propellers, and replacement of
attach bolts if necessary.
2006-18-15 Replaced by AD 2009-22-03
2005-18-12 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hartzell Propeller Inc. propellers. This AD requires inspecting the
P, R, W, and Z shank propeller blades and other critical propeller
parts for corrosion and mechanical damage. This AD results from
two events where a ‘’Z-shank’’ blade failed and separated and
the results of teardown inspections that detected corrosion in
the blade bore. We are issuing this AD to detect corrosion and
mechanical damage that can cause failure of a propeller, which
could result in loss of control of the airplane. This AD requires
propeller disassembly and inspection in accordance with Hartzell
Service Bulletin HC-SB-61-136( ). Compliance with this AD is
based on the TSO of the propeller.
2005-14-12 HC-ASB-61-279 Rev. 4 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell ropeller Inc. models HC-B3TN-2, HC-B3TN-3,
HC-B3TN-5, HC-B3MN-3, HC-B4TN-3, HC-B4TN-5,
HCB4MN-5, HC-B4MP-3, HC-B4MP-5, and HC-B5MP-3
propellers, installed with propeller mounting bolts, part number
(P/N) B-3339. This AD requires initial and repetitive visual
inspections and torque checks of certain manufacture lot
numbers of propeller mounting bolts, P/N B-3339, and eventual
removal from service of those bolts. This AD results from the
discovery during routine propeller installation that a bolt from a
certain manufacture lot did not properly absorb the installation
torque. This AD also results from the discovery that other
bolts of the same part number from a different manufacture lot
had material surface pitting. We are issuing this AD to prevent
propeller attaching bolt failures or improperly secured propellers,
which could lead to separation of the propeller from the airplane.

2005-14-11 This AD applies to the Hartzell Propeller, Inc., McCauley Propeller

Systems, and Sensenich Propeller Manufacturing Company, Inc.
propeller models last returned to service by Southern California
Propeller Service of Inglewood, CA. These actions are against
propeller models returned to service by Southern California
Propeller Service. Southern California Propeller Service is not
to be confused with propeller repair stations known as California
Propeller or as Propeller Service of California. Southern California
Propeller Service was issued Air Agency Certificate number of
VXSR617L in 1992, which was revoked in June of 1998.
2005-04-08 HC-SB-61-136I This AD applies to Hartzell Propeller Inc. model
HC-B3TN-5( )/T10282( ) propellers installed on the airplane and
engine combinations shown in the following Table 1 (excluding
propellers with blades part number (P/N) T10282N( ),
T10282NB( ), T10282NK( ), or T10282NE( ) installed). The FAA
is superseding an existing Priority Letter Airworthiness Directive
(AD) for Hartzell Propeller Inc. model HC-B3TN-5( )/T10282()
propellers. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive
inspections of the blade pilot tube bore area. This AD requires the
same inspections. This AD results from a review of all currently
effective ADs. That review determined that Priority Letter AD
88-24-15 was not published in the Federal Register to make it
effective to all operators, as opposed to just the operators who
received actual notice of the original Priority Letter AD. This
AD also results from the discovery that the original AD omitted
an airplane model with a certain Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) from the applicability. We are issuing this AD to prevent
possible blade failure near the hub which can result in blade
separation, engine separation, damage to the airplane, and
possible loss of the airplane.
2004-21-01 Replaced by AD 2006-22-12
2004-07-25 The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for Hartzell Propeller Inc. Model HC-B5MP-3C/M10876K
propellers, installed on Short Brothers Model SD3-60 airplanes.
That AD currently requires initial and repetitive removal,
disassembly, inspection, and rework if necessary of Hartzell
Propeller Inc. Model HC-B5MP-3C/M10876K propellers until
blades are replaced with new design blades, no later than March
31, 1988. This AD requires installation of new design blades
before further flight, on Hartzell Propeller Inc. Models
HC-B5MP-3C/M10876K propellers. This AD supersedure is
prompted by a review of all currently effective ADs, which found
that AD 87-16-02 was not published in the Federal Register to
make it effective to all operators, as opposed to just the operators
who received actual notice of the original AD. We are issuing this
AD to prevent propeller blade separation near the hub, which
could result in engine separation from the airplane.
