This is the applicability list. Which of these are complied with, their computed next-due dates, and the 15 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 F172M
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.
