AD: Robinson R22

AD NUMBER:  2003-04-04
MANUFACTURER: Robinson Helicopter
SUBJECT:  Airworthiness Directive 2003-04-04
SUMMARY:  This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) Model R22 helicopters that requires inspecting the tail rotor pitch control assembly for roughness or binding of the pitch control bearings (bearings) by hand-rotating the pitch control bearing housing (housing). If the housing does not rotate freely, the AD requires replacing the unairworthy pitch control assembly with an airworthy unit. This amendment is prompted by reports of failure of the tail rotor pitch control assembly due to improperly lubricated bearings on the RHC Model R22 helicopters. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect corrosion of the bearings and to prevent bearing  failure and subsequent loss of directional control of the helicopter.
