Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (AD) para certos helicópteros Modelo PZL W-3A da PZL-Swidnik S.A. (Swidnik). Esta AD foi motivada pela detecção de corrosão nos parafusos de fixação do rotor principal (MRB). Esta AD exige inspeções repetitivas nos parafusos de fixação do MRB e, dependendo dos resultados da inspeção, reparo ou substituição de qualquer parafuso afetado. Esta AD também exige relatório dos resultados da inspeção e proíbe a instalação de qualquer parafuso de fixação do MRB a menos que certos requisitos sejam atendidos. A FAA está emitindo esta AD para corrigir a condição de insegurança nesses produtos.
