Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels (revokes) a previous aviation safety rule that applied to Bell 212 helicopters.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Bell 212 series helicopters.

What it changes: Previously, helicopter operators had to inspect the vertical fin forward spar (a structural support beam in the tail section) every 120 hours of flight time until a specific repair part (a doubler) was installed or the spar cap was replaced. This cancellation removes that inspection requirement entirely as of 19 November 2009.

Why it matters: The safety inspection is no longer deemed necessary, removing a maintenance burden and operating cost for operators of these aircraft.
