McCauley AD Notes
AD 2010-04-05- Cessna 152 propellers still having Hub Cracking, I am not sure why McCauley continues to make this same style propeller gull wing only one like it for this aircraft. We are still doing lots of inspections and finding cracks and probably will until all of them have been retired.
S/B-230-240 for Oil Fill of 182 propellers.
McCauley Cessna 180-182 aircraft origionally came out with AD 91-15-04 which took in propellers that needed Oil fill of the Ferrel Style Propeller. Then people upgraded to the new compact propeller thinking this would solve the red oil fill problem. Well, suprise but know all of the 180-182 compact propellers now have to be oil filled at overhaul also at a extra expense to the owner so it really did not pay to upgrade for most of you I am afraid.
STC Propellers
Never has it been easier to get a 3 bladed propeller at a reasonable price. McCauley and Hartzell Both have dozens of different STC for putting a 3 bladed propeller on pretty much everthing. Yes the STC price will cost you around $9500.on the average but that 2 bladed propeller that you have had since the 60's is about that much now for replacement new.
