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 POLICY REQUIRED THAT PARTS
MANUFACTURED BY AUTHORIZED VENDORS/SUPPLIERS AND ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED
BY THE PRIME CONTRACTOR MUST BE FATIGUE TESTED. THE 114R3650-13 AND
114R3650-15 BOLTS ARE FLIGHT SAFETY PARTS. THE 114R3650-13 BOLT
(THREE PER ROTOR HEAD) IS SUPERSEDED AND REPLACED BY THE IMPROVED
114R3650-16 BOLT, AND IS USED TO ATTACH THE UPPER END OF EACH PITCH
LINK TO THE PITCH ARM ON BOTH THE FORWARD AND AFT ROTOR HEADS. THE
114R3650-15 BOLT (THREE PER ROTOR HEAD) IS SUPERSEDED AND REPLACED BY
THE IMPROVED 114R3650-17 BOLT, AND IS USED TO ATTACH THE LOWER END OF
EACH PITCH LINK TO THE SWASHPLATE ON BOTH THE FORWARD AND AFT ROTOR
HEADS. SOME OF THE 114R3650-13 AND -15 BOLTS WERE FIELDED WITHOUT
BEING 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 114R3650-13 AND 114R3650-15 BOLTS INSTALLED
ON H-47 AIRCRAFT, INSTALLED ON SPARE ROTOR HEADS, AND IN STOCK.
(2) REPLACE ALL 114R3650-13 AND 114R3650-15 BOLTS THAT DO
NOT HAVE THE APPROVED CAGE CODE OR MANUFACTURERS NAME ON THE BOLTS
WITH IMPROVED 114R3650-16 AND 114R3650-17 BOLTS, RESPECTIVELY.
