Airworthiness Directives; Hamilton Sundstrand Propellers Model 568F Propellers

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Hamilton Sundstrand Propellers model 568F propellers with certain part number (P/N) and serial number (SN) blades. This AD requires removing affected propeller blades from service for rework. This AD results from reports of blades with corrosion pits in the tulip area of the blades. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracks from developing in the tulip area of the blade, which could result in separation of the blade and loss of airplane control.

Part-conditional — R815505R2, R815505R3, R815505R4, R815505S2, R815505S3.

Applies only to model 568F propeller blades with the listed part numbers bearing a serial number listed in AD Table 1 (discrete SN list, not a continuous range: 31, 33, 34, 37, 40, 43, 105, 230, 259, 265, 277, 278, 403, 747, 1007, 1031, 1510, 1515, 1803, 1813, 1823, 1834, 1917, 2072, 2299, 2300, 2383, 2459, 2460, 2462, 2464, 2469, 2470, 2473, 2492, 2510, 2535, 2577, 2625, 20010731, 20010732, 20010917, 20020568), installed. Installed on, but not limited to, ATR-42-400/-500, ATR72-210A/-500, and CASA C-295 airplanes.

Whether AD 2009-07-06 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 2009-07-06 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.
