Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the discovery of a potential fouling condition between the rotating swashplate outer ring and the non-rotating collective lever. The FAA is issuing this AD to address improper clearances in the collective control system installation. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of control of the helicopter.
Affected ADs
None.
