AD/PHZL/73 (Continued)

Compliance: Within 10 flying hours after the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 9 August 2001.

Background: This AD is prompted by advice from the FAA that a US repair organisation released a number of discrepant Hartzell “Y” shank propellers into service. The discrepancies identified by the FAA could lead to propeller failure and subsequent loss of an aircraft. The action prescribed in this AD will ensure no discrepant propellers remain in service on Australian registered aircraft.
