Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of all Messerschmitt-Bolkow Blohm (MBB) BO 105 helicopters to carry out the inspections and corrective actions set out in Transport Canada AD CF-88-07R2 (with reference to MBB Alert Service Bulletins BO 105LS-10-103 and BO 105-10-103), effective 27 September 2007. It responds to discovered fatigue cracks in main rotor pitch link rod-ends; a rod-end failure could cause loss of control, so operators/owners bear the compliance cost and must schedule the mandated work.
