Background:  An occurrence of the propeller blade separation due to a possible hub failure has been reported.  The cracked propeller hub is still under investigation and therefore no detailed information about the kind of failure is known at the present time.  The actions specified by this Airworthiness Directive are of a precautionary nature and are intended to prevent possible further hub failures.

             This amendment introduces an ultrasonic inspection of the propeller hub.

             Amendment 2 became effective on 23 December 2005.
