Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates structural modifications to the tail of Bell 206B helicopters (serial numbers 914 and higher) that have specific "metal buttons" installed. Owners/operators must perform the work per Bell Service Bulletin 206-01-73-3 on the tail rotor drive shaft cover and the lower skin of the horizontal stabilizer.

Compliance was required within five days after 1 May 1973. The change corrects a safety defect affecting structural integrity; operating without it violates civil aviation safety rules.
