D5519-13 – Cessna Aircraft Propeller Log Book
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
The Cessna D5519-13 is a specialized, OEM-standard Propeller Maintenance Record designed for the precise documentation of propeller service history, repairs, and regulatory compliance. Given that the propeller is a high-stress, dynamic component subject to centrifugal forces, harmonic vibration, and environmental erosion, the D5519-13 provides the critical framework required to track its operational life. This log book is engineered to satisfy the requirements of 14 CFR § 91.417, ensuring that every inspection, blade profiling, and governor adjustment is recorded in a format recognized by the FAA and international civil aviation authorities.
A dedicated propeller log book is essential for managing the distinct maintenance intervals of the prop assembly, which often differ from the engine and airframe schedules. The D5519-13 allows owners and technicians to track Total Time Since New (TTSN) and Time Since Overhaul (TSO) with absolute clarity. Whether managing a fixed-pitch cruise prop or a complex constant-speed feathering assembly, this log book serves as the definitive legal history of the component, ensuring safety during operation and preserving asset value during aircraft transactions.
Key Features
Propeller-Specific Data Fields: Includes dedicated sections for recording Hub Serial Number, Blade Serial Numbers, and Propeller Model designations.
Compliance Tracking: Structured pages for documenting Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance and mandatory Service Bulletin (SB) actions specific to the propeller and governor.
Archival-Quality Binding: Constructed with a heavy-duty, reinforced cover and high-opacity paper to withstand the grease and oil-rich environment of the maintenance hangar.
Chronological Integrity: Smyth-sewn binding prevents the accidental loss or fraudulent removal of pages, maintaining a tamper-evident record of the propeller’s history.
OEM Standard Format: Aligns with Textron Aviation (Cessna) technical record standards, ensuring seamless integration with other Cessna-branded maintenance logs.

Applications
The D5519-13 is used as a Permanent Component Record. It is the primary site for documenting major alterations (such as re-pitching), dynamic balancing results, blade "dressing" (removal of nicks and gouges), and the mandatory five-year or TBO-driven overhauls. It also tracks the health of the propeller governor and de-ice boots if equipped.
Why Choose D5519-13?
Choosing the Cessna D5519-13 ensures that your propeller’s maintenance history is captured in a professional, audit-ready format. Propellers are subject to unique failure modes, such as stress corrosion cracking and fatigue at the blade root; without a clear history of inspections and hub NDT (Non-Destructive Testing), a propeller can become a significant liability. The D5519-13 provides the structured record-keeping necessary to prove airworthiness to insurance adjusters and pre-buy inspectors, ensuring that the critical "prop time" is never in question.
The D5519-13 is an essential tool for managing the structural fatigue life and aerodynamic profile of the propeller assembly. From an engineering perspective, a propeller blade is a rotating airfoil subject to extreme tensile stresses from centrifugal force and bending moments from thrust and aerodynamic loads. Documenting the "dressing" of the leading edge in the D5519-13 is critical for tracking the minimum chord width and blade thickness limits specified in the Propeller CMM. Excessive material removal can lead to a shift in the natural frequency of the blade, potentially moving the harmonic vibration into the engine's operational RPM range. By maintaining a sequential record of Non-Destructive Inspections (NDI), such as Eddy Current or Magnetic Particle testing on the hub and blade shanks, the D5519-13 ensures the detection of sub-surface crack initiation before it reaches critical length, preventing catastrophic in-flight blade separation.
Note: The D5519-13 is a flight-critical legal document. All entries must be made in accordance with 14 CFR § 43.9 and § 43.11 by an authorized person (A&P mechanic or FAA Certified Repair Station). Because propellers are high-energy components, accuracy in tracking TSO and AD compliance is paramount for flight safety. This log should be stored in a secure location and presented during every annual or 100-hour inspection.
