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 Federal Aviation Administration Chicago Aircraft Certification Office 2300 East Devon Avenue Des Plaines, IL 60018 Fax: (847) 294-7834 Service Alerts     NOTICE The Chicago ACO has asked that the form at the links below be used to report findings during inspections pertaining to AD 97-18-02.
