Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by an accident and incidents involving failure of the tail boom attachment structure. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking of tail boom attachment fittings, cap angles, longerons, and bolts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in separation of the tail boom from the helicopter and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Affected ADs
None.
