Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a mandatory Airworthiness Directive—essentially a safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

What it requires Owners of DHA-3 (Drover) series aeroplanes fitted with specific Fairey-Reed propellers (type A66753/X1) and certain spinner models (Marks 2, 3, or 4) must immediately remove the spinner nose and body assemblies from the propeller. You can keep the spinner back plate installed. Alternatively, you can comply with a specific technical standard referenced as ANO 105.1.14.0.1.2, Issue 2.

Who is affected Any operator or owner of the specified DHA-3 aircraft with the affected propeller and spinner combinations.

Why it matters This directive addresses specific safety risks associated with these spinner assemblies. The compliance is immediate ("forthwith"), meaning the aircraft cannot legally fly until the work is done.
