Compliance: 1. Inspect blades daily in accordance with Hartzell Service Bulletin 140F.

Background: During the landing run use of the ‘Beta’ range above 55 KIAS could result in blade tip stalling. If this condition is encountered higher than normal blade stresses will be introduced which may result in cracking of the propeller blades. This amendment raised to incorporate latest edition of manufacturer’s data which changes the blade tip inspection area. This Directive is further amended to incorporate manufacturers requirements which delete applicability for some blade models.
