Summary
Requires a collective control system rigging check, and any corrective actions if clearance parameters are outside of tolerance, within 10 flight hours or 30 days after the November 23 effective date, whichever occurs first. Prompted by Bell identifying a potential fouling condition between the collective lever and the swashplate outer ring when conducting an installation test for a new design. A rotating swashplate outer ring fouling on the non-rotating collective lever may impact the main rotor flight control mechanism, potentially leading to loss of control of the helicopter.
