This is the applicability list. Which of these are complied with, their computed next-due dates, and the 22 serial/mod-conditional ADs that actually apply to your aircraft come from its digitized logbooks — that’s the verified report.

Known trouble spots on the 337E

Hydraulic retractable landing gear upkeepmedium

The Cessna 210 hydraulic retractable gear (power pack, actuators, saddle clamps, up-locks) is maintenance-intensive and a frequent squawk source. Look for gear power-pack service, actuator/seal work, and gear rigging / retraction checks.

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.

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.
