  23. Service Bulletins ASB221E (continued) • ASB221E vs. AD 2010-04-05 • The difference between the ASB and the AD is the repetitive inspection • ASB221E has a repetitive inspection every 750 hours or 36 months, whichever occurs first • AD 2010-04-05 requires the repetitive inspection be performed every 750 hours. There is no calendar limit on the AD. • If the propeller was previously inspected per ASB221C or D the initial inspection is not required. The repetitive inspection schedule should be followed.

  29. Service Bulletins • SB263 – Measuring feather angle on C652 • C652 has a high feather angle • There have been issues with incorrect feather measurements and adjustments which resulted in the propellers rotating backwards when feathered • Make sure the protractor is on the correct side of 90 degrees
