COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Bell Helicopter Textron 205 Series Helicopters
AD/BELL 205/45 Amdt 4
Main Rotor Yoke 9/91
Applicability: All helicopters fitted with main rotor yoke P/N 204-011-102- (all dash numbers).
Requirement: 1. Inspect the main rotor yoke in-situ in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions in Bell Alert SB No. 205-90-36 Revision A, dated 23 March 1990.
2. Remove the yoke assembly from the main rotor hub assembly and inspect the yoke in accordance with FAA AD 79-20-05, Amendment 39-3662.
Compliance: As detailed in the Requirement Documents.
Background: Amendment 3 implemented the additional inspections of ASB 205-87-28, which was issued as a result of fatigue cracks being found in service. It required that visual inspections of the main rotor yoke be performed daily and every 1200 hours/24 months. These are additional to the more detailed 2400 hourly inspection specified in FAA AD 79-20-05.
Amendment 4 specifies Bell Alert SB 205-90-36 which supersedes Alert SB 205-87-28, and adds an additional yoke spindle inspection at 1200 hours/24 month intervals. Inspections done to amendment 3 may be considered for the purposes of determining when next inspections are due.
