You must fit part number 212-030-629-101 on the left-hand side and part number 212-030-629-102 on the right-hand side.\n\n**Who must comply**\n\nOwners and operators of any Bell 212 helicopter that has emergency flotation equipment installed.\n\n**Compliance requirements**\n\nThe deflectors must be installed exactly as described in Bell Helicopter Service Bulletin No. 212-78-5. This is an immediate grounding directive — you cannot fly the helicopter again until the parts are installed (the rule states \"prior to further flight\").\n\n**Why this matters**\n\nThese deflectors ensure emergency flotation bags deploy cleanly during a water landing. Without them, the bags could catch on the airframe or fail to inflate properly, potentially causing the helicopter to sink in an emergency situation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h","history":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-bell-212-20-emergency-float-bag-deflector-installation-p-n-212-030-629-101-l-h-and-102-r-h/documents"}}
