Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent loss of control of the propeller blade pitch due to propeller control unit (PCU) ballscrew quill wear, accomplish the following:

(a) Within 10 hours time in service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD, for propeller assemblies equipped with titanium nitrided transfer tubes (identifiable by gold-colored spline area), remove the titanium nitrided transfer tubes from service, replace the PCU ballscrew quill with a new quill or a quill that has never been mated with a titanium nitrided transfer tube, and install an A-1 nitrided transfer tube (identifiable by a grey-colored spline area) that has been marked in accordance with the applicable SB listed in paragraph (c) of this AD.

(b) Within 30 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD, for propeller assemblies equipped with an A-1 nitrided transfer tube and a PCU ballscrew quill that either has been mated to a titanium nitrided transfer tube, or that have no records showing to which transfer tube type the PCU ballscrew quill was mated, replace the PCU ballscrew quill with a new quill or a quill that has never been mated with a titanium nitrided transfer tube.

(c) Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, mark all A-1 nitrided transfer tubes with a new part number in accordance with the following Hamilton Standard Alert Service Bulletins (ASB), all dated October 27, 1992: ASB No. 14RF-21-61-A39, applicable to Hamilton Standard Model 14RF-21 propellers; ASB No. 14RF-9-61-A57, applicable to Hamilton Standard Model 14RF-9 propellers; ASB No. 14RF-19-61-A26, applicable to Hamilton Standard Model 14RF-19 propellers; ASB No. 14SF-61-A61, applicable to Hamilton Standard 14SF series propellers; and ASB No. 6/5500/F-61-A12, applicable to Hamilton Standard-British Aerospace Model 6/5500/F-1 propellers.

(d) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office. The request should be forwarded through an appropriate FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office. NOTE: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this airworthiness directive, if any, may be obtained from the Boston Aircraft Certification Office.

(e) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.

(f) The replacement, and marking of transfer tubes shall be accomplished in accordance with the following service documents:
