Robinson Helicopter Issues Safety Alert For MRB Maintenance

Warns About Unauthorized 'Repairs' Being Performed In Brazil

Robinson Helicopter Company has received several reports and allegations from Brazil of R22 and R44 main rotor blades with debonded skins being "repaired" in the field and returned to service.

The company said in a safety alert posted on its website that "Debonded or "repaired" main rotor blades can lead to a fatal accident."

Any AO16-4, CO1602 or CO-16-5 blade with a debonded skin is not field repairable and must not be returned to service. Any main rotor blade which has been previously "repaired" is unairworthy and must be immediately removed from service.

The company directs owners, operators and maintenance personnel who have or suspect they may have unairworthy blades to contact Peter Hallqvist with Robinson Technical Support for verification and assistance in obtaining replacement blades.
