Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21899 · Main rotor system
Bell Textron Inc. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.) Helicopters
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2022-06-03. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Bell Textron Inc. (type certificate previously held by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.) Model 204B, 205A, 205A-1, 205B, 210, and 212 helicopters, certificated in any category, with an outboard main rotor hub strap pin (pin) part number 204-012-104-005 with a serial number prefix “FNFS” installed.
The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to Bell Textron Inc. (type certificate previously held by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.) Model 204B, 205A, 205A-1, 205B, 210, and 212 helicopters with a certain outboard main rotor hub strap pin (pin) installed. As published, the AD number specified in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
(1) For Model 204B, 205A, 205A-1, 205B, and 212 helicopters:
(i) Before further flight from August 24, 2021 (the effective date of AD 2021-15-51), remove from service any pin that is identified in paragraph (c) of this AD.
(ii) After August 24, 2021 (the effective date of AD 2021-15-51), do not install any pin that is identified in paragraph (c) of this AD on any helicopter.
(2) For Model 210 helicopters:
(i) Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, remove from service any pin that is identified in paragraph (c) of this AD.
(ii) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install any pin that is identified in paragraph (c) of this AD on any helicopter.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
