Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Dowty Aerospace Propellers Type R334/4-82-F/13 with propeller hub assemblies, part number (P/N) 660709201. This action requires a one-time ultrasonic inspection of the propeller hub for cracks. This amendment is prompted by a report of an in-flight loss of a propeller. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent propeller hub failure due to cracks in the hub, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
