AD: Bell

AD NUMBER: 2007-26-10
MANUFACTURER: Bell
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-26-10
SUMMARY:
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) Model 430 helicopters that requires replacing a certain servo actuator-to-actuator support attachment bolt (bolt) with an airworthy bolt.

This action also requires establishing a retirement life for certain bolts and recording the retirement life on a component history card or equivalent record.

This amendment is prompted by further evaluation of certain fatigue-critical parts, resulting in establishing a life limit of 5,000 hours for the affected bolts.

The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the bolt and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
