Known trouble spots on the 310J

Propeller blade / hub AD & overhaul currencymedium

Many Hartzell and McCauley constant-speed props carry blade-shank or hub ADs plus a calendar/hours overhaul interval; blade corrosion and hub grease leaks are common findings. Confirm the prop AD status and last overhaul against the interval.

Twin Cessna wing-spar strap & landing gearhigh

Twin Cessnas carry recurring wing-spar (lower cap / spar-strap) inspections and a complex hydraulic landing gear with known actuator, saddle and door-sequencing wear. Confirm the spar AD/SID inspection status and the landing-gear rigging and function checks.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and the aircraft’s type certificate; it is advisory and not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
