HI ADAM.......I am sorry, but not surprised to hear of your of your trouble
s. Anytime an old Commnader shows up at a shop like that, the outcome is p
redictable. Your mechanic should always be older than the airplane he is w
orking on. First, the AD on the forward spar does not apply to your airpla
ne. I doesn't even have the parts to be inspected installed. The 560A was
the first model to have the straps. But, it is probably a moot point. La
st April a service letter was issued from Hartzell that suspended the servi
ce instructions for your propellers. In other words, they can no longer be
overhauled. They can, at great expense, be upgraded to the MV design, but
this would require replacing basically everything in your props. I am goi
ng to be speaking on this issue at the flyin. We did talk about the 250hr
inspection when I checked you out in your airplane. You may remember that
I had a pair of low time, no AD props for sale? You passed at the time and
I later sold them for a 560, sorry:-( I dont know what to tell you. I
am going to contact Hartzell and see if there is any other solution, but a
m not hopeful as I feel they just don't want these old propellers around an
ymore. jb

Kerry - this was from a Lean Of Peak guy I flew with in his 601P. He could
be
trying to impress me, but it's not beyond the realm of the possible conside
ring
190kts is a pretty low power setting. Granted, it was high up, much higher
than
my 520 would fly. So at a similar altitude, low teens, I'm sure the burn wo
uld
go up.

I should have bough those then, but I didn't have any money left after the first
big annual!
Are you saying Hartzell won't let them be overhauled or inspected at all? Because
buying new props is a $70K deal, which would be the end of all 520's.

props need O/H and loads of other annoying stuff and AD's, so I doubt it will
be ready in time. I knew she'd been a bit too good for the last 100 hours - I
was due for a beatdown.
Call me we are flying out of Chino in a 680F on Thursday morning 714 six five eight
