Helicopter Association International (HAI) posted in its May 27, 2016 newsletter this
link that apparently shows a new airworthiness directive (AD) proposed by the FAA.
The proposed AD would apply to "Robinson Model R44 and R44 II helicopters with an MRB part number (P/N) C016–7, Revisions N/C, A through Z, and AA through AE; and Model R66 helicopters with an MRB P/N F016–2, Revisions A through E."
"The proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the MRB for a crack, corrosion, dent, nick, or scratch, and either altering the MRB or removing it from service."
Comments regarding this new proposed AD can be addressed to the FAA and must be received by July 26, 2016. Are operators sending comments, and what would be your position?
