Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23395 · Bell Textron Canada Limited Helicopters
Bell Textron Canada Limited Helicopters
This AD applies to Bell Textron Canada Limited 430.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-09- 03, which applied to certain Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 430 helicopters. AD 2025-09-03 reduced the life limits on the main rotor (M/R) clevises, universal bearings, and universal to pitch link bolts and required re-identifying the M/R pitch link assemblies with new part numbered assemblies. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-09-03, the FAA received comments proposing changes to the actions of AD 2025-09- 03. This AD requires changes to the actions in AD 2025-09-03 and addresses the comments received on that AD. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
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.
