Airworthiness Directives; Hamilton Standard 54H60 Series Propellers

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Hamilton Standard 54H60 series propellers. This action requires removing from service affected propeller blades, and returning those blades to the manufacturer or an approved facility for inspection, rework, and return to service. This amendment is prompted by reports of a propeller blade manufacturing defect. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent propeller blade fracture due to the manufacturing defect, which could result in propeller blade separation and loss of control of the aircraft.

Whether AD 97-13-07 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 97-13-07 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.
