Abstract
This amendment revises an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Model HH-1K, TH-1F, TH-1L, UH-1A, UH-1B, UH-1E, UH-1F, UH-1H, UH-1L, and UH-1P; and Southwest Florida Aviation SW204, SW204HP, SW205, and SW205A-1 helicopters, manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. (BHTI) for the Armed Forces of the United States, and requires removing and replacing certain main rotor mast (mast) assemblies. This amendment corrects a part number that was published incorrectly in the existing AD. This amendment is prompted by the discovery of that error. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the mast and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
