Page 83
The number of dents allowable depends upon their size. It is suggested that two or three per propeller
blade would be maximum.
61.20.40 Repair
To repair all dents and scratches a slow cure EPOXY resin must be used. Available from Airborne is a
General Purpose Epoxy (180, 360 and 1000gm packs). Damage over 3mm MUST be filled with slurry
made from a suitable Epoxy plus fine milled glass fibres (Available from Airborne is a BOS Repair Kit
containing the appropriate epoxy, Glass Powder and instructions). For cosmetic scratches and dents
use Talc with the epoxy. Always follow the resin instructions and apply to a clean dry surface. When
cured, carefully sand the filler back to match the blade apply new LE Tape.
NOTE
If in doubt, or if the propeller has more damage than is able to be fixed by the maintainer then return the
propeller to AirBorne for evaluation, possible repair and or overhaul.
Ground Run
After adjustments or maintenance and prior to flight the engine should be run up to check the propeller
is functioning normally. The tracking of the propeller should be checked.
The aircraft should be securely chocked and the engine run up to full speed. Ensure the engine
temperature is at the required operation temperature. Check that the propeller is functioning normally
with minimum vibration. A correctly adjusted propeller should result in the engine being limited to 6800
RPM.
