Airworthiness Directive E6-20206
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Hartzell Propeller Inc. Propellers and McCauley Propeller Systems Controllable Propellers
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Hartzell Propeller Inc. HC, BHC, and PHC series propellers; and McCauley Propeller Systems controllable propellers serviced by Oxford Aviation Services Limited, doing business as CSE Aviation, in the United Kingdom between September 1998 and October 2003. This AD requires inspecting the propeller blades and other critical propeller parts for wear and mechanical damage. This AD results from findings that CSE Aviation failed to perform some specific inspections and repairs. We are issuing this AD to detect unsafe conditions that could result in a propeller blade separating from the hub and loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD E6-20206 applies to
Applies only to Hartzell and McCauley propellers with a specific part number and serial number combination listed in AD Table 1 or Table 2, serviced by Oxford Aviation Limited (doing business as CSE Aviation). Table truncated in source text (data continues beyond retrieved excerpt); installed on, but not limited to, general aviation, agricultural, flight training, and charter aircraft.
Whether AD E6-20206 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.
