Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Requires a one‑time inspection of Breeze Eastern BL‑16600 rescue hoist mounting brackets (except BL‑16600‑160) using Breeze Eastern Customer Aerospace Advisory Bulletin CAB‑100‑56, to be done before the hoist’s next use after 26 December 2002. The AD targets helicopters fitted with these hoists (examples listed) because the FAA reported cracked mounting brackets that could lead to hoist separation; it therefore prescribes inspection to detect and correct cracking.
