Applicability*9
This AD applies to Bell Textron Canada Limited Model 222 helicopters, certificated in any category, as identified in Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2026-39, dated August 10, 2026 (Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2026-39).

Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of in-flight fatigue failure of a tail rotor pitch horn. The FAA is issuing this AD to address undetected cracks, remove affected tail rotor pitch horns and associated tail rotor pitch links from service, and prohibit installation of the affected tail rotor pitch horns. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the tail rotor pitch horns and secondary tail rotor hub components, which could result in loss of control of the helicopter.
Affected ADs
None.
