AD: Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2016-08-17

PRODUCT: Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (Bell) Model 222, 222B, 222U, 230, and 430 helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY:  The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-19-51 for the aircraft listed above.

AD 2010-19-51 required inspecting parts of the main rotor hydraulic servo actuator (servo actuator) for certain conditions and replacing any unairworthy parts before further flight.

This new AD requires installing a servo actuator with a new stainless steel piston rod. This AD was prompted by a collective servo actuator malfunction.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect corrosion on a piston rod, which could result in failure of the servo actuator and consequent loss of helicopter control.

DATES: This AD is effective May 31, 2016.

FMI: AD
