Airworthiness Directive 05-17773
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems “FASTprop” Propeller De-icers
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems "FASTprop" propeller de- icers, part numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601 series, P4E2200 series, P4E2271-10, P4E2575-7, P4E2575-10, P4E2598-10, P5855BSW, P6199SW, P6592SW, P6662SW, and P6975-11, installed. This AD requires inspection, repair, or replacement of those "FASTprop" propeller de-icers that fail daily visual checks. This AD results from reports of Goodrich "FASTprop" propeller de-icers becoming loose or debonded, and detaching from propeller blades during operation.
Which aircraft AD 05-17773 applies to
'FASTprop' propeller de-icers installed on, but not limited to, numerous airplane models per AD Table 1 (partial: Cessna 210/T210 series; Raytheon (Beech) D18/E18/G18/H18/C-45/TC-45 series, 50/65/95 series, 55/58/60/99/100 series; Cessna 310/320/340/401/402/411/414/421; Twin Commander (Gulfstream) 500/560/680/720 series), some requiring specific STCs; full table truncated in source text.
Whether AD 05-17773 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.
