than rpm.
NOTE: The beta valve usually is built into the base of the
governor.
The propeller is reversed by manualty repositioning the cockpitcontrolled cable to cause the beta vahe to supply oil from the
governor pump to the propeller.
When the propeller reaches desired reverse position, movement
of the beta ring and carbon block assembly cause the beta vahe
to shut off flow of oil to the propeller, holding the blade in a fixed
position.

Required Inspections
100-Hour Inspection
Remove the spinner dome.
Check for oil and grease leaks (see Figure 5).
Inspect all visible parts for wear and safety.
Inspect visible hub parts for cracks or wear.
Check blade edges and surfaces for corrosion. cracks,
scratches, depressions, erosion and gouges.
a) Check composite blade edges and surfaces for debond
and delamination (see Figure 4).
Have any crack or gouge in a metal blade repaired before
next flight (See Figure 6).
NOTE: Minor damage to a composite blade does not
necessarily have to be repaired before next flight.
If the propeller is equipped with external de-icer boots, make
sure all de-icer boots are secure.
Inspect all attaching hardware for proper fit, torque
requirements and safety.
Make an entry in the Log Book verifying that this inspection
h a s been completed.

A. General DescriDtion
The Hartzell composite blade is composed of a
metal blade shank retention section into which is
molded a low-density foam core that supports
built-up layers of composite laminate (Figure 1).
An erosion shield of electroformed nickel or
stainless steel is incorporated into the fabrication
to protect the blade leading edge from impact
damage. Erosion shields are adhesively bonded to
blades. The LM10585 blade was introduced with a
stainless steel erosion shield. All other blades, as
well as recent production LM10585, use a nickel
erosion shield.
Some designs incorporate a stainless steel wire
mesh into the fabrication to inhibit erosion in blade
tip areas.
Some designs incoporate a metal foil mesh on the
surface of the blade to limit lightning strike
damage.

4) Blade Life
Blade life is expressed in terms of total hours of
service (TT, or Total Time), time between
overhauls (TBO) and in terms of service since
overhaul (TSO, or Time Since Overhaul). All
references are necessary in defining the life of the
propeller.

A. Required Record-KeeDing
Composite blade damage and a description of its
repair must be recorded in the propeller log book.
Maintaining a good log book record is particularly
important for composite propeller blades. Damage
and/or repairs may suffer further degradation after
continued use. Such degradation may be easily
overlooked. Therefore it is important for
inspectors to have access to accurate historical
data when performing subsequent inspections.
B. Prefliaht Inspection
1) Follow propeller preflight inspection procedures as
specified in the aircraft maintenance manual, or
an air carriers operational specifications, or this
manual. In addition, perform the following
inspections:
