Owner experience with prop shop requested by FAA
November 29, 1998
The FAA Chicago Aircraft Certification Office is requesting information on a potential propeller AD that could have a significant economic impact on a large number of owners. The problem stems from some overhauls and repairs performed by the former Southern California Propeller Service of Inglewood, California. The propeller shop had its Repair Station Certificate revoked in June of this year. Since the certificate revocation last June, the FAA has received seven reports of failed propellers (for a variety of reasons) that were overhauled or repaired by Southern California Propeller Service. The FAA is considering AD action against all propellers serviced by Southern California Propeller Service dating back to 1992 when their Repair Station certificate was first issued. Potentially, an AD could require teardown and inspection of every propeller that has gone through this shop. Anyone with experience related to the former Southern California Propeller Service (positive or negative) is asked to submit comments and experience in writing to the FAA. This is strictly a fact-finding effort designed to help determine what level of action is appropriate. The FAA would appreciate your input. Send comments and experience to:
Mr. Tomaso DiPaolo
