AD: Bell

AD NUMBER: 2007-23-17
MANUFACTURER: Bell
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-23-17
SUMMARY:
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) Model 206A and 206B helicopters. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The aviation authority of Canada, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in the MCAI: Reevaluation of the structural analysis indicates the need for the removal from service of bolts in this application. The removal of certain main rotor latch bolts isrequired because these bolts do not have a mandatory retirement life. Further evaluation has shown that these bolts fail prematurely due to fatigue. This fatigue failure may result in failure ofthe main rotor and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. We are issuing this AD to requireactions to correct this unsafe condition on these products.
