Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels (removes) a previous aviation safety rule that required recurring maintenance on main rotor control bolts for certain Bell helicopters.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Bell 206 and Agusta Bell 206 series helicopters.

What changed: Previously, these helicopter owners were legally required to inspect or replace specific bolts in the main rotor flight control system every 24 months, following manufacturer service bulletins (Bell ASB 206-89-48, 206L-89-61, or Agusta Bell SB 206-190). This update removes that requirement entirely. You no longer need to perform these specific maintenance actions to comply with Australian aviation law.

Why it matters: This eliminates a recurring compliance obligation, reducing maintenance costs and administrative burden for operators of these helicopter models.
