Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Aerospace Propellers Type R334/4-82-F/13 Propeller Assemblies

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Dowty Aerospace Propellers Type R334/4-82-F/13 with propeller hub assemblies, part number (P/N) 660709201. This action requires a one-time ultrasonic inspection of the propeller hub for cracks. This amendment is prompted by a report of an in-flight loss of a propeller. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent propeller hub failure due to cracks in the hub, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

Which aircraft AD 2002-01-28 applies to

MakesDowty Aerospace Propellers

Applies to propeller hubs requiring ultrasonic inspection of the rear wall of the rear half of the hub for cracks, per Dowty Aerospace Propellers SB No. 61-1119, Revision 2, dated December 6, 2001; specific propeller model designations are not present in the extracted text.

Whether AD 2002-01-28 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2002-01-28 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
