Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Hiller UH‑12 series helicopters (specific main transmission part numbers) to inspect the main transmission oil filter and, if fitted, the magnetic particle chip detector in line with Hiller Aviation Service Bulletin UH‑12‑23‑2. It sets an initial 25 hours’ time‑in‑service deadline and recurring inspection intervals, and lengthens those intervals for helicopters that incorporate a Rogerson-modified main transmission. Operators pay inspection labour/time and any follow‑on maintenance; the regulator enforces compliance and sets the inspection schedule.

Background: This Directive was originally issued to require monitoring of the main transmission oil filter. The requirement was in response to reports of extensive wear in the planetary assemblies. This amendment introduces extended compliance intervals for helicopters incorporating a modified main transmission and provides an extended compliance to assist maintenance scheduling..
