"FAA Requests Comments on Final Rule Adopting Emergency Airworthiness Directive for Robinson R22"

The Federal Aviation Admin. published in the Federal Register of November 7, 2000, an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD)2000-20-51,, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators
of Robinson Helicopter Co. Model R-22 helicopters by individual letters.

This AD requires checking the yoke half assembly for any crack and replacing a cracked yoke assembly before further flight. This AD also requires replacing certain yokes with airworthy yokes before further flight
after January 1, 2001. This AD is prompted by the discovery of cracks in the yoke.

Comments?? Lu?
