Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this requires:

Helicopter owners and operators must replace specific pylon support links (parts numbered 206-031-508-5 and 206-031-508-7) on Bell 206 and Agusta Bell 206 series helicopters.

Who is affected:

Anyone operating or maintaining Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) 206 or Agusta Bell 206 series helicopters.

Why it matters:

Pylon support links are critical structural components connecting the helicopter's body to its rotor system. This directive prevents catastrophic failure of these parts, which could lead to loss of the aircraft and lives.

Compliance deadline:

The replacement had to be completed within 5 hours of flight time after 5 October 1973.

Technical references:

Operators must follow the procedures in Bell Service Bulletin No. 206-01-73-6 (or Agusta Service Bulletin BT206-72 for Agusta models).
