Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova Diretiva de Aeronavegabilidade (AD) para todos os helicópteros Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Modelo MBB-BK117 D-3. Esta AD foi motivada por um relato de desgaste excessivo nos parafusos de rolamento instalados na plataforma oscilante, conectando o anel de cardã e o conjunto do anel de comando. Esta AD requer inspeções iniciais e repetitivas da plataforma oscilante para folga vertical e radial e, dependendo dos resultados das inspeções, ações corretivas. Esta AD também proíbe a instalação de qualquer parafuso afetado a menos que os parafusos sejam novos ou certos requisitos sejam atendidos. A FAA está emitindo esta AD para solucionar a condição insegura destes produtos.

ENOriginal (Federal Register)

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK117 D-3 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of excessive wear on the bearing bolts, installed on the swashplate, connecting the cardan ring and the control ring assembly. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of the swashplate for vertical and radial play and, depending on the results of the inspections, corrective actions. This AD also prohibits installing any affected bolt unless the bolts are new or certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
