AD 2009-22-03 Hartzell Propellers
Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 9:58AM AD 2009-22-03 was released this week by the FAA. This AD applies to Hartzell 2 blade Y shank aluminum propeller hubs installed on all Lycoming 360 series reciprocating engines. Hartzell has experienced issues with cracks in these hubs. This AD supersedes AD 2006-18-15. AD 2009-22-03 expands the engine applicability to all Lycoming 360 series engines, the previous AD only applied to certain Lycoming 360 series engines. The AD also eliminates the need to have the propeller hub eddy current inspected at every annual. Now the eddy current inspection will only need to be completed every 100 operating hours. This AD also clarifies that propeller hubs stamped with the serial number suffix letter “E” are also affected by the AD. This AD becomes effective on November 12, 2009.
