AD 2011-16-04 Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A Helicopters
Models named: S-92A. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model S-92A helicopters with landing gear retract actuator (actuator), part number (P/N) 92250-00800-103, with a serial number (S/N) 101-00026 through 101-00237, without the modification letter “B” stamped on the nameplate, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Before further flight, unless previously accomplished. To prevent a landing gear collapse and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter, do the following: (a) Revise the operating limitations, “Airspeed Limits” section of the rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) by one of the following methods: (1) Insert Sikorsky “Temporary Revisions” SA S92A-RFM-000, Revision 2; SA S92A-RFM-002, Revision 6; SA S92A-RFM-003, Revision 5; SA S92A-RFM-004, Revision 5; SA S92A-RFM-005, Revision 4; or SA S92A-RFM-006, Revision 3; all approved January 7, 2011; or (2) Insert a copy of this AD; or (3) Make pen and ink changes with the following limitations: “Maximum rolling groundspeed for normal takeoff or normal landing is 50 knots.” “After a landing with a rolling groundspeed in excess of 50 knots, any further takeoffs or towing operation is prohibited. Rolling ground taxi operations of less than 50 knots are permitted.” (b) Following a landing with a rolling groundspeed in excess of 50 knots, or as an alternative to revising the operating limitations section of the RFM in compliance with this AD, before further flight, replace each affected actuator that does not have the modification letter “B” stamped on the nameplate with an airworthy actuator that has the modification letter “B” stamped on the nameplate. (c) To request a different method of compliance or a different compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
