Applicability
The AD applies to specific models of McCauley propellers, particularly the C200, C300, and C400 series, installed on various aircraft, including the Cessna A185F. The document lists the applicable blade models and serial numbers that must be inspected.
Compliance Requirements
Operators must comply with the AD within 10 hours of time in service after the effective date, unless the inspection has already been completed. The inspection involves checking the blade shank area for cracks or forging folds.
Inspection Procedures
The inspection must be conducted in accordance with McCauley Service Bulletin SB146 or an FAA-approved equivalent. Care must be taken to avoid introducing corrosive substances into the propeller hub during the inspection.
Special Flight Permits
If necessary, operators may request a special flight permit to operate the aircraft to a maintenance base where the AD can be accomplished.
Effective Dates
The AD became effective on February 22, 1983, following the previous amendment effective December 30, 1982.
Safety notes
- Extreme caution must be exercised when removing paint and anodize from blades to prevent contamination.
- If cracks or forging folds are found, the blade must be replaced before further flight.

NOTE: McCauley Accessory Division Service Bulletin 146 provides additional background information for identifying propeller applicability. Compliance required, within the next 10 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. To prevent possible propeller blade shank failure, accomplish the following: (a) Dye penetrant inspect the blade shank area for cracks or forging "folds" in accordance with McCauley Accessory Division Service Bulletin SB146 dated December 3, 1982, or FAA approved equivalent. Extreme caution must be exercised when removing paint and blade anodize to prevent corrosive liquids from entering the propeller hub. If evidence of cracks or forging "folds" is found replace the blade with a serviceable blade before further flight. (b) A special flight permit may be issued in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the aircraft to a base where this AD can be accomplished. (c) Upon request of the operator, an equivalent means of compliance with the requirements of this AD may be approved by the Manager, Chicago Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018. Amendment 39-4521 became effective December 30, 1982. This Amendment 39-4564 becomes effective February 22, 1983.
