Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A cancellation of a safety rule (Airworthiness Directive) for Robinson R22 helicopters.

What it originally did: The previous rule required maintenance or inspections related to main rotor blades on these helicopters because older blade designs (part number A016-2) were prone to corrosion pitting (small rust holes that weaken the metal).

Why it's cancelled: All affected helicopters have now been upgraded to new, corrosion-resistant blades made with stainless steel skin (part number A016-4). The old blades were required to be removed by April 2006 under a separate safety rule (AD/R22/53), so this specific directive is no longer needed.

What happens now: Owners and operators of Robinson R22 helicopters no longer need to comply with the requirements of AD/R22/36 Amdt 1.
