Airworthiness Directives; Hartzell Propeller Inc. Models HC-92WK- ( ) and HC-92ZK-( ) Propellers

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes airworthiness directive (AD) 73-02- 01, applicable to Hartzell Propeller Inc. Models HC-92WK-( ) and HC- 92ZK-( ) propellers, that currently requires visual and penetrant inspections of the propeller blade shank area for corrosion at 1,000 hour time in service (TIS) intervals and shotpeening after inspection. This amendment requires a one-time inspection of the blade clamp screws, then a dye penetrant inspection, compressive rolling of the blade shank, and replacement of blade clamp screws, all to be accomplished at intervals of 500 hours TIS. This amendment is prompted by reports of two recent propeller blade separations that occurred at less than 1,000 hours TIS since last inspection. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent propeller blade separation, which could result in loss of control of the aircraft.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 500 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 95-11-08 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 95-11-08 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.
