## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Schweizer Aircraft Corporation (Schweizer) Model 269C, C-1, and D helicopters. This action requires inspecting, modifying, and testing the lateral control trim actuator assembly on certain serial-numbered helicopters. This amendment is prompted by three reported incidents of the inner spring tube separating from the lateral trim control housing resulting in a lateral cyclic control restriction. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent separation of the inner spring tube from the lateral trim control housing and the associated loss of trim control, increased local resistance to right cyclic stick movement, and an emergency landing or subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
