Airworthiness Directive 2000-15-10
recurringAirworthiness Directives; McCauley Propeller Model 4HFR34C653/L106FA-0
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to McCauley Propeller Systems 4HFR34C653/L106FA-0 model propellers that are installed on Jetstream Series 3200 airplanes. This action is also applicable to 4HFR34C653/L106FA-0 model propellers that are installed on Ayres S2R-G5 and S2R-G10 airplanes if the propeller was previously installed on Jetstream Series 3200 airplanes or if installation history of the propeller is unknown. This action requires one-time and repetitive eddy current inspections of the camber side of the blade surface. This amendment is prompted by a report of a crack on the camber side of the blade surface. The crack was found during a dye penetrant inspection as part of a normal overhaul process. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect cracks that could cause failure of the propeller blade, which can result in loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2000-15-10 applies to
Applies to 4HFR34C653/L106FA-0 model propellers installed on Jetstream Series 3200 airplanes; and to the same propeller model installed on Ayres S2R-G5 and S2R-G10 airplanes if the propeller was previously installed on a Jetstream Series 3200 airplane, or if the propeller's installation history is unknown. Applies to each propeller identified regardless of prior modification/alteration/repair in the affected area.
Whether AD 2000-15-10 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
