Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory aviation safety order requiring inspection of fuel boost pumps on specific Bell helicopters.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Bell 205A-1 helicopters with serial numbers below 30233 (older aircraft in this model series).

What it requires: You must have the fuel boost pumps inspected within 100 hours of flight time after the directive takes effect. Fuel boost pumps are critical components that push fuel from the tank to the engine. The inspection must follow the technical procedures outlined in the manufacturer's document (Bell Service Bulletin No. 205-76-14).

Why it matters: Failing fuel boost pumps can cause engine fuel starvation and power loss, potentially leading to forced landings or crashes. This directive ensures potential manufacturing defects or wear are identified before they cause in-flight emergencies.
