Summary
Supersedes but retains some of the requirements of AD 2020-23-05, which required inspecting the control rod attachment yokes of certain main rotor rotating swashplates, establishing a life limit, performing a one-time inspection of stripped yokes, and any applicable corrective actions. Updated AD also requires compliance with a revised life limit; performing a repetitive visual inspection of the yokes on certain swashplates; and, depending on the inspection results, removing the affected swashplates from service, performing a dye penetrant inspection of the yoke, and additional corrective actions.
