AD NUMBER: 2019-07-02

PRODUCT: Certain Robinson Helicopter Company (Robinson Helicopter) Model R66 helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: This AD requires inspecting the oil tank outlet's fitting color.

If the fitting is blue, this AD requires replacing the tank with an oil tank that lacks a blue fitting.

This AD also requires determining the revision letter on the ink stamp, and installing an oil tank angle based on that determination.

This AD was prompted by reports of broken oil tank internal baffles.

DATES: This AD is effective May 17, 2019.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 265 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:
The cost for identifying the oil tank assembly identification ink stamp and outlet fitting color is minimal. Inserting a G805-1 angle requires about 1 work-hour at $85 per hour, and parts cost about $17 for an estimated cost of $102 per helicopter.
