Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This directive requires owners and operators of Bell 206 series helicopters (including models made by Bell Helicopter Textron Canada and Agusta Bell) to modify the tail rotor control tube tunnel.

Who it affects: Anyone operating these specific helicopter models.

What must be done: The modification must be carried out according to Bell Service Letter No. 206-202. This is a manufacturer's instruction that changes how the tail rotor control tube is housed or protected.

When: The work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 January 1973.

Why it matters: This is a safety requirement to ensure the tail rotor (which controls the helicopter's direction) operates properly. Problems with the control tube tunnel could affect flight safety.
