Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11448 · Hartzell Propeller, Inc. Model HD-E6C- 3( ) Propellers
Hartzell Propeller, Inc. Model HD-E6C- 3( ) Propellers
Hartzell Propeller, Inc., Model HD-E6C-3( ) series propellers with propeller hub part number D-5108-1, installed on but not limited to Fairchild Dornier 328-110 and 328-120 series airplanes.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Hartzell Propeller, Inc., Model HD-E6C-3( ) series propellers, installed on Fairchild Dornier 328-110 series and 328-120 series airplanes. This action supersedes telegraphic AD T99-06-51 that currently requires initial and repetitive inspections of the propeller hub for cracks or grease leaks, and replacement of the hub if any cracks are found. This amendment requires an initial and repetitive inspections of Hartzell propeller hub, part number (P/N) D-5108-1, for cracks or grease leaks, replacement of the hub if any cracks are found, and allows the installation of propeller hub, P/N D-5108-5, as a terminating action for the inspection requirements. This amendment is prompted by the addition of propeller hub P/N D-5108-5 as a terminating action for the inspection requirements and by the removal of the inspection requirements for Hartzell propeller hub, P/N D-5108-5. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent severe vibration due to cracks in the propeller hub that could result in propeller blade loss, loss of control, and possible damage to the airplane.
