REGULATORY TEXT:  
58-18-01 HAMILTON STANDARD: Applies to All Hamilton Standard Propellers Controlled by 5U18 Governors and Installed on TC18DA and TC18EA Series Engines.

Compliance required at first governor overhaul after December 1, 1958, but not later than June 1, 1959.

Adverse environmental conditions in the propeller governor resulting from certain types of engine failure have caused improper operation of the governor in such a manner as to result in propeller overspeeding, failure to feather and reversing when feathering was initiated. In order to minimize the possibility of such occurrences, provide a means for feathering that will be independent of the low pressure relief and pilot valves incorporated in the 5U18 governors. Installation of the Deterjet Model DJ-1025 governor bypass valve or replacement of the 5U18 governor by the Hamilton Standard 5AA22 governor are considered acceptable means to accomplish the desired objective. (installation of Deterjet Model DJ-1025 on Douglas DC-7C approved under Supplemental Type Certificate SA4-507.)
