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

AD NUMBER: 2014-12-01

PRODUCT: Bell Model 214B, 214B-1, and 214ST helicopters with certain tail rotor hanger bearings (bearing) installed.
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-11-05 for the product listed above. AD 2013-11-05 required inspecting the bearing to determine whether an incorrectly manufactured seal material is installed on the bearing.

This new AD retains the repetitive inspection of the bearings and also requires replacing the defective bearings. This AD was prompted by a report that certain bearings were manufactured with an incorrect seal material that does not meet Bell specifications.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the bearing and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective July 14, 2014.

FMI: AD
