AD: Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (Bell) Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2014-03-11

PRODUCT: Bell Model 204B helicopters with a certain cable assembly installed.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2014-03-11
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires inspecting the tail rotor (T/R) cable assembly for an incorrectly machined body. This AD is prompted by a report from Bell that a defective body on the cable prevents the barrel assembly from fully engaging in the body cavity.

These actions are intended to prevent disengagement of the cable from the barrel, failure of the T/R pitch control, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective March 26, 2014.

FMI: AD
