AD: Bell Helicopter Textron

AD NUMBER: 2016-22-07

PRODUCT: Bell Helicopter Textron (Bell) Model 204B, 205A-1 and 212 helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 75-26-05 for the aircraft listed above.

AD 75-26-05 required removing and visually inspecting each main rotor (M/R) blade and, depending on the inspection's outcome, repairing or replacing the M/R blades.

This new AD requires more frequent inspections of certain M/R blades and applies to Model 205A helicopters.

This AD does not require that helicopter blades be removed to conduct the initial visual inspections.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect a crack and prevent failure of an M/R blade and subsequent loss of helicopter control.

DATES: This AD is effective November 30, 2016.

FMI: AD
