Abstract
The project focuses on the design of an aircraft propeller maintenance developed in the form of a workbench
to perform maintenance procedures to determine propeller workability. The proposed design analysis
corresponds to the existing workbench cum toolbox placed at WATS. For which the workbench is altered
with necessary alterations to develop it into a propeller maintenance workbench. Survey was conducted at
flying clubs in Walton Aerodrome to determine their approach towards the facility. The objectives
determined in the report and their operating procedures are all formulated and designed as per the standard
regulations of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) and Federal Aviation Authority in
correspondence to the maintenance manual of the respective propeller manufacturer. Future prospects of
the project focuses on the incorporation of Dynamic balancing and overhauling techniques.
