4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM -
A. THE ORIGINAL QUALIFICATION (FATIGUE TESTING) OF FLIGHT SAFETY
PARTS WAS DONE BY BOEING HELICOPTERS UNDER ARMY DIRECTION. THE
FATIGUE TESTING OF THESE PARTS SUBSTANTIATED THEIR SERVICE LIFE AND
THE PARTS DESIGN WAS CONSIDERED QUALIFIED. IN OCTOBER 1995 A CHANGE
IN THE ARMY FLIGHT SAFETY PART (FSP) POLICY REQUIRED THAT PARTS
MANUFACTURED BY AUTHORIZED VENDORS/SUPPLIERS AND ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED
BY THE PRIME CONTRACTOR MUST BE FATIGUE TESTED. THE 114R3650-6 AND
114R3650-11 BOLT ASSEMBLIES ARE FLIGHT SAFETY PARTS. THE 114R3650-6
BOLTS (2 PER FORWARD ROTOR HEAD) ATTACH THE FORWARD CYCLIC TRIM
ACTUATOR, AND FIXED LINK, TO THE SWASHPLATE. THE 114R3650-11 BOLT
(1 PER FORWARD AND AFT ROTOR HEAD) ATTACH THE DRIVE SCISSORS UPPER
ARM TO THE DRIVE SCISSORS LOWER ARM. SOME OF THE 114R3650-6 AND
114R3650-11 BOLTS, MANUFACTURED BY BOEING AUTHORIZED
VENDORS/SUPPLIERS, WERE FIELDED BEFORE THEY WERE QUALIFIED AS AN
ALTERNATE SOURCE BY FATIGUE TESTING.
B. FOR MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS SEE PARA 12.
C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO -
(1) INSPECT ALL 114R3650-6 AND 114R3650-11 BOLTS
INSTALLED ON H-47 AIRCRAFT AND IN STOCK.
(2) REPLACE ALL SUSPECT BOLTS AT THE NEXT PHASE INSPECTION,
BUT NLT 20 OCTOBER 2001.
