Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA propõe a adoção de uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (AD) para certos helicópteros modelo 427 fabricados pela Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell). Esta AD proposta foi motivada por um relato de uma válvula de retenção de verificação de óleo de transmissão trincada. Esta AD proposta exigiria a inspeção e medição de certas válvulas de retenção e, dependendo dos resultados, inspeção repetitiva e remoção da válvula de retenção do serviço se apresentar vazamentos ou estiver trincada. Esta AD proposta também proibiria a instalação das válvulas de retenção afetadas em qualquer helicóptero. A FAA propõe esta AD para resolver a condição insegura presente nestes produtos.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 427 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a cracked transmission oil check valve (check valve). This proposed AD would require inspecting and measuring certain check valves and, depending on the results, repetitively inspecting and removing the check valve from service if it has leaks or is cracked. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing the affected check valves on any helicopter. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
