Notes:
(*) - Denotes suffix letter(s). Some models have one or more suffix letter designations, others have none.
(1)&(2) - Propeller model and hub serial numbers are stamped on the side of the propeller hub. The listing of hub serial numbers refers to specific hub serial numbers not series. In the event a spinner is installed, the spinner should be removed to check the model and hub (S/N) designations. The aircraft's records should likewise be checked to endure that the model and hub serial number coincide with the records. In the event an error is noted, the records should be corrected accordingly. Prior to further flight, spinners should be reinstalled where applicable.
(3) - If no listing of aircraft serial numbers is indicated, applies to all applicable serial numbers of a particular aircraft model or series.
Compliance required within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished.
To preclude the possibility of blade actuating pin failures resulting from using an incorrect actuating pin, or improper rework of the ferrules and installation of the blade actuating pins and washers (i.e., a blind actuating pin hole not tapped to the proper depth can cause stripped threads on the ends of the actuating pin resulting in severe stress and may prevent actuating pin from seating properly on the washer), accomplish the following:
A. Disassemble the propeller and inspect the blade actuating pins, washers McCauley Service Bulletins No. 99 dated December 8, 1972, No. 99-1 dated December 14, 1972, No. 99-2 dated April 23, 1973, and No. 99-3 dated August 11, 1975, or later Federal Aviation Administration approved revisions.
B. Prior to further flight repair or replace as necessary, any improperly installed blade actuating pins, washers and ferrules, and reassemble the propeller in accordance with McCauley Service Bulletins No. 99 dated December 8, 1972, No. 99-1 dated December 14, 1972, No. 99-2 dated April 23, 1973, No. 99-3 dated August 11, 1975, and Service Manuals 710930 and 720415, or later Federal Aviation Administration approved revisions.
C. When the above propellers are released for service, compliance with this Airworthiness Directive shall be noted in the Aircraft's Records.
D. The Responsible propeller repair station will notify the Federal Aviation Administration, Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, AGL-210, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, by certified mail of the results of these inspections. The disposition of the affected propeller(s) including the blade and hub serial numbers of the propellers (as received and where applicable, as returned to service) must be reported. (Reporting approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB No. 04-R-174.)
The manufacturer's specifications and procedures identified in this directive are incorporated herein and made part hereof pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). All persons affected by the directive who have not already received these documents from the manufacturer, may obtain copies upon request to McCauley Accessory Division, Cessna Aircraft Corporation, Box 7, Roosevelt Station, Dayton, Ohio 45417. These documents may also be examined at the Great Lakes Regional Office, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, and at FAA Headquarters, 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20591. A historical file on this airworthiness directive which includes incorporated material in full is maintained by the FAA at its Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and the Great Lakes Region.
This amendment becomes effective: July 6, 1977.
