Airworthiness Directive 96-19560
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Hamilton Standard Model 14RF-9 Propellers
What this AD requires
This amendment revises airworthiness directive (AD) 96-08-01, that is applicable to Hamilton Standard Model 14RF-9 propellers. The current AD superseded priority letter AD 95-24-09, and requires an ultrasonic shear wave inspection, adds a one-time visual and fluorescent penetrant inspection, and repair of the propeller blade shank. This revision will add a new shank eddy current inspection and will allow repair of certain blade shanks removed from service under the current AD. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent propeller blade separation due to propeller blade shank cracking that can result in loss of control of the aircraft.
Which aircraft AD 96-19560 applies to
Whether AD 96-19560 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.
