Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Directive requires operators of Bell 204B helicopters fitted with float kit P/N 204-706-053 or P/N 205-706-050 to carry out the work set out in FAA AD 69-15-7, effective immediately from 10 August 2000. The stated aim is to prevent aft cross tube failure from fatigue. Compliance is mandatory under CAR 1998 subreg 39.1(1); the Directive adopts the FAA technical requirements rather than restating them, so operators must consult FAA AD 69-15-7 for the specific inspections/repairs.
