FAA REVOKES CERTIFICATE OF PORTERFIELD PROPELLERS OF ABERNATHY, TEXAS
August 30, 2019
On July 12, 2019, the FAA issued an Emergency Order revoking the repair station certificate of Porterfield Propellers for intentionally falsifying records and conducting improper inspections. In one occasion Porterfield Propellers knowingly falsified records to indicate it had used required equipment while inspecting two propellers for a Piper Aztec. More recently, Porterfield Propellers serviced five propeller blades with equipment that had not undergone required overhauls. Additionally, the company had not validated the equipment by conducting required evaluations of parts on which it had been used.
