Summary
Calls for a repetitive tail rotor gearbox attachment hardware torque check during the 200-hour or 12-month Inspection. The AD stems from three reports of tail rotor gearbox assemblies found loose on the gearbox support. Ongoing investigation has determined that the condition may return which could lead to structural damage and possible loss of control of the helicopter.
