Airworthiness Directive 99-25-05
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Hartzell Propeller, Inc. Model HD-E6C- 3( ) Propellers
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Hartzell Propeller, Inc., Model HD-E6C-3( ) series propellers, installed on Fairchild Dornier 328-110 series and 328-120 series airplanes. This action supersedes telegraphic AD T99-06-51 that currently requires initial and repetitive inspections of the propeller hub for cracks or grease leaks, and replacement of the hub if any cracks are found. This amendment requires an initial and repetitive inspections of Hartzell propeller hub, part number (P/N) D-5108-1, for cracks or grease leaks, replacement of the hub if any cracks are found, and allows the installation of propeller hub, P/N D-5108-5, as a terminating action for the inspection requirements. This amendment is prompted by the addition of propeller hub P/N D-5108-5 as a terminating action for the inspection requirements and by the removal of the inspection requirements for Hartzell propeller hub, P/N D-5108-5. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent severe vibration due to cracks in the propeller hub that could result in propeller blade loss, loss of control, and possible damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 99-25-05 applies to
Applies to Hartzell Model HD-E6C-3( ) series propellers with propeller hub part number D-5108-1. Applies to each propeller identified regardless of prior modification/alteration/repair in the affected area. Installed on but not limited to Fairchild Dornier 328-110 and 328-120 series airplanes.
Whether AD 99-25-05 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.
