| 95-31140 | Airworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company Model R22 Helicopters | Rule | This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) Model R22 helicopters, that currently requires revisions to the Limitations section, the Normal Procedures section, and the Emergency Procedures section of the R22 Rotorcraft Flight Manual, revised February 4, 1993. These revisions limit operations in high winds and turbulence; provide information about main rotor (M/R) stall and mast bumping; and provide recommendations for avoiding these situations. Additionally, emergency procedures are provided for use should certain conditions be encountered. This action would require similar revisions to the Limitations, Normal Procedures and Emergency Procedures sections required by the existing AD, but the revision to the Limitations section would prohibit only pilots without a certain level of experience and training from operating in the flight conditions specified. This action is prompted by data that indicates pilots who possess a certain level of experience and training are more able to recognize and react to the adverse meteorological conditions specified in the AD. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent M/R stall or mast bumping, which could result in the M/R blades contacting the fuselage causing failure of the M/R system and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. | 1995-12-22 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/22/95-31140/airworthiness-directives-robinson-helicopter-company-model-r22-helicopters | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-22/pdf/95-31140.pdf | Transportation Department | 492 | This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) Model R22 helicopters, that currently requires revisions to the Limitations section, the Normal Procedures section, and the Emergency... |
