TASK/INSPECTION SUSPENSE DATE WITHIN NEXT 10 FLIGHT HOURS/14 DAYS. 3. REPORTING COMPLIANCE SUSPENSE DATE 13 OCT 98. 4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM - A. FAILURE OF THE AFT LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK MAY CAUSE MINOR AIRCRAFT DAMAGE, DEPENDING UPON FLIGHT CREW DETECTION OF THE FAILURE AND ACTIONS TAKEN AFTER THE FAILURE IS DETECTED. INVESTIGATIONS HAVE REVEALED THAT SIDE IMPACT LOADING FORCES MAY CAUSE THE AFT DRAG LINK TO FAIL ON "-3" EQUIPPED AFT LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLIES. THESE SIDE IMPACT FORCES ARE GENERATED DURING ROLL ON LANDINGS, SLOPE OPERATIONS, REAR WHEEL TAXI OPERATIONS, AND LANDING THE AIRCRAFT FROM A HOVER WITH A SLIGHT YAW RATE. (1) AMCOM ISSUED TB 1-1520-240-20-80 (CH-47-96-ASAM- 01) TO INSPECT AND IDENTIFY AFT DRAG LINKS IDENTIFIED WITH EITHER A STAMPED OR PAINTED "-3" OR "-5". THE "-3" DRAG LINK IS MADE OF A MATERIAL WHICH IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRESS CORROSION CRACKING. THE "-5" IS THE NEW CONFIGURATION AND IS MADE OF A DIFFERENT MATERIAL WHICH IS NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SAME STRESS CORROSION CRACKING FAILURE MODE. (2) AMCOM ISSUED TB 1-1520-240-20-100 (CH-47-98-ASAM- 02) TO EXTEND THE OPERATIONAL LIFE TO ALLOW CONTINUED USE OF THE "-3" AFT LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK AND RESTRICT THE AIRCRAFT FROM CONDUCTING ROLL-ON LANDINGS IF THE "-3" DRAG LINK WAS INSTALLED. FIELD VISITS HAVE INDICATED THAT SOME UNIT TRAINERS AND EVALUATORS WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ROLL-ON LANDING RESTRICTION. A SYSTEM SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT WAS PROCESSED AND CONTINUED USE OF THE "-3" LINK, UNTIL THE "-5" REPLACEMENT LINKS ARE AVAILABLE, WAS DETERMINED TO BE A MEDIUM RISK. IT HAS ALSO BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE ROLL-ON LANDING RESTRICTION WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT ATM TRAINING AND PILOT QUALIFICATIONS. B. FOR MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS SEE PARA 12. C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO RESCIND THE PRACTICE ROLL-ON LANDING RESTRICTION IMPOSED BY TB 1-1520-240-20-100 (CH- 47-98-ASAM-02). A THOROUGH REVIEW OF PAST ACCIDENTS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE LIKELIHOOD OF A ROTOR BLADE / FUSELAGE STRIKE IS IMPROBABLE IF A LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK FAILURE OCCURS DURING A ROLL ON LANDING. 5. END ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED - ALL CH-47D, MH-47D AND MH-47E HELICOPTERS. 6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED IAW TB 1-1520-240-20- 100 (CH-47-98-ASAM-02). 7. PARTS TO BE INSPECTED - IAW TB 1-1520-240-20-100 (CH-47-98- ASAM-02). 8. INSPECTION PROCEDURES - CHECK THE APPROPRIATE AIRCRAFT RECORDS FOR PRACTICE ROLL ON LANDING RESTRICTION IMPOSED BY TB 1- 1520-240-20-100 (CH-47-98-ASAM-02). A. IF RESTRICTION IS NOT ENTERED IN THE AIRCRAFT LOGBOOK AND THE "-5 AFT DRAG LINKS" ARE INSTALLED, THE INSPECTION IS COMPLETE. B. IF A RESTRICTION IS ENTERED IN THE AIRCRAFT LOGBOOK PERFORM CORRECTIVE PROCEDURES IAW PARAGRAPH 9 AND AN INSPECTION OF THE DRAG LINK IS REQUIRED AS FOLLOWS: (1) PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION ON "-3" DRAG LINKS AT THE DAILY, PHASE, PREFLIGHT, AND POST FLIGHT INSPECTIONS. (2) PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE FORWARD END OF THE DRAG LINK WHERE THE VERTICAL BOLT GOES THROUGH THE DRAG LINK. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT FLIGHT CREWS VISUALLY INSPECT THIS AREA ON THE "-3" DRAG LINK DURING PREFLIGHT AND POST FLIGHT INSPECTIONS; OLDER "-3" DRAG LINK MAY CRACK UNDER MINIMAL LOAD FORCES. NOTE: WHEN THE "-3" DRAG LINKS ARE REPLACED WITH THE "-5" DRAG LINKS, THE LOGBOOK ENTRY CAN BE CLEARED. (3) A ONE TIME, NON DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OTHER THAN VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE "-3" DRAG LINKS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, BECAUSE THE DRAG LINK MAY EASILY BE DAMAGED DURING DISASSEMBLY AND ONCE REASSEMBLED STRESS CORROSION CRACKING CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME. THEREFORE, ONLY A VISUAL EXTERNAL INSPECTION IS TO BE PERFORMED. 9. CORRECTION PROCEDURES - IF AIRCRAFT IS RESTRICTED FROM PRACTICE ROLL ON LANDINGS, IAW TB 1-1520-240-20-100 (CH-47-98- ASAM-02), ANNOTATE IN THE APPROPRIATE RECORDS THE ROLL ON LANDING RESTRICTION HAS BEEN RESCINDED IAW THIS ASAM. THE CIRCLED RED //X// STATUS SYMBOL SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THE "-5" DRAG LINK IS INSTALLED IN ADDITION TO THE REMOVAL OF THE ROLL-ON LANDING RESTRICTION, THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WILL BE ADHERED TO: A. CREW MISSION BRIEF WILL IDENTIFY ANY MISSION REQUIRING A PLANNED ROLL-ON LANDING WITH THE "-3" LINK-EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT AS AT A MINIMUM, A MEDIUM RISK MISSION. B. FLIGHT CREWS WILL VISUALLY INSPECT ALL DRAG LINKS IDENTIFIED AS A "-3" DURING DAILY INSPECTIONS, PRE-FLIGHT AND POST-FLIGHT INSPECTIONS. C. ENSURE THE REQUIREMENTS TO INSPECT, IDENTIFY AND MARK ALL "-3" DRAG LINKS ARE COMPLIED WITH IAW TB 1-1520-240-20-80 (CH-47-96-ASAM-01). D. TRAINING: (1) CONDUCT ALL SLOPE OPERATIONS AND ROLL-ON LANDING OPERATIONS AT THE END OF THE TRAINING PERIOD TO ALLOW FUEL BURNED TO DECREASE THE AIRCRAFT GROSS WEIGHT WHICH WILL REDUCE STRESSES ON THE AFT LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK. (2) MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF REAR-WHEEL TAXI OPERATIONS PERFORMED, THE SPEED AND RATE OF TURNS WHILE REAR WHEELS ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, AS WELL AS MINIMIZING ANY MANEUVER THAT IMPOSES SIDE LOAD FORCES ON THE AFT LANDING GEAR. (3) BE ADVISED THAT THE DRAG LINK MAY FAIL UNDER NORMAL OPERATING LOADS ON "-3" EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT. E. CREW PROCEDURES FOR A BROKEN DRAG LINK: THE CREW MAY EXPERIENCE EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE SETTLING OF THE AFT GEAR TO A POSITION THAT IS LOWER THAN NORMAL. THE SENSATION IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN AUTOMOBILE TIRE BLOWING OUT WHILE DRIVING. IF IT IS THE AFT RIGHT DRAG LINK THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY. THE PILOT SHOULD CORRECT THIS CONDITION BY APPLYING THRUST TO MINIMIZE WITHIN GROUND CONTACT MOTION WHILE MAINTAINING THE AIRCRAFT "LIGHT" ON THE GROUND OR REPOSITIONING THE AIRCRAFT TO A NEW AREA BY HOVER TAXI. IF REPOSITIONED BY HOVER TAXI, AGAIN LAND AIRCRAFT. IF SETTLING IS FELT APPLY SUFFICIENT THRUST TO MAINTAIN AIRCRAFT "LIGHT" ON THE GROUND. LOWER THE RAMP TO LEVEL POSITION AND HAVE THE FLIGHT ENGINEER OPEN ACCESS DOOR AND VISUALLY CONFIRM THE DRAG LINK IS BROKEN WHILE THE PILOT HOLDS AIRCRAFT IN POSITION ON THE GROUND. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE AFT LANDING GEAR IS STILL HELD IN PLACE BY THE UPPER DRAG LINK. IF A LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK FAILURE HAS OCCURRED, THE GROSS WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD BE MINIMIZED AND THE WITHIN GROUND CONTACT MOTION OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD BE MINIMIZED TO GREATLY REDUCE THE CHANCE OF GROUND RESONANCE OCCURRING. GROSS WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD BE REDUCED TO 40,000 POUNDS OR BELOW BY BURNING OFF FUEL OR OFF LOADING CARGO. IF TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS, HAVE THEM EXIT THE AIRCRAFT TO A SAFE LOCATION WHEN AIRCRAFT IS STABLE. PERFORM A HOVER LANDING WITH LANDING GEAR SWIVELS LOCKED. ONCE DOWN, CONTINUE TO REDUCE COLLECTIVE SMOOTHLY UNTIL REACHING GROUND DETENT POSITION. PERFORM EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES. THE AIRCRAFT WILL SETTLE AFT LEFT OR AFT RIGHT DURING SHUTDOWN. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE DRAG LINK FAILURE HAS TRADITIONALLY NOT BEEN DETECTED UNTIL AIRCRAFT HAS COME TO A STOP AFTER TAXING. F. BROKEN LANDING GEAR: (1) THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTED INSTANCES WHERE THE AFT LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN BROKEN AWAY FROM THE AIRCRAFT. HOWEVER, IN THE FAILURE OF THE AFT LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK, THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY DOES NOT SEPARATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT, BUT REMAINS ATTACHED TO THE AIRCRAFT. NOTE: FLIGHT CREWS AND MAINTENANCE/SUPPORT CREWS WILL REVIEW THESE METHODS PERIODICALLY. (2) IF AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCES A FRACTURED OR COMPLETELY BROKEN LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK, UTILIZE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE FOR LANDING AND SHUT DOWN AFTER AIRCRAFT IS POSITIONED IN AN ADEQUATE SHUTDOWN AREA: HOVER TAXI TO A LEVEL LOCATION THAT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH NORMAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS. NOTE: THE BRAKES WILL NOT RESPOND NORMALLY SO DURING LANDING THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD BE POSITIONED AND HELD IN POSITION WITH THE FLIGHT CONTROLS. SETTING PARKING BRAKE MAY OR MAY NOT HOLD. AVOID ROLLING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. REDUCE GROSS WEIGHT TO APPROXIMATELY 40,000 POUNDS BY BURNING FUEL AND OFF LOADING CARGO. HAVE PASSENGERS EXIT AIRCRAFT AND MOVE TO A SAFE LOCATION WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS STABLE. FLIGHT AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL SHALL USE CAUTION WHILE AIRCRAFT IS OPERATING TO PREVENT INJURY FROM FLYING OBJECTS AND BEING PINNED BETWEEN THE AIRFRAME AND PALLETS. (3) WHILE THE AIRCRAFT IS HOLDING ON THE GROUND WITH BLADES TURNING, WITH THE PILOT MAINTAINING AIRCRAFT IN POSITION, THE RAMP IN THE LEVEL POSITION, THE FLIGHT ENGINEER POSITIONED OUTSIDE THE AIRCRAFT AND IN COMMUNICATION WITH PILOTS; PLACE/STACK WOODEN PALLETS AND SEVERAL MATTRESSES (OR EQUIVALENT) UNDER THE AIRFRAME AND INBOARD OF THE BROKEN GEAR. THE HEIGHT OF THIS STACK-UP SHALL BE GENERALLY UP TO 0 TO 6 INCHES BELOW THE AIRFRAME. (PLACE EACH PALLET WITH THE WOODEN 2X4 OR 4X4 SUPPORTS AT 90 DEGREES TO EACH OTHER) ACTUAL SIZE OF THE PALLETS DOES NOT MATTER AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AN APPROXIMATE 4- FOOT BY 4 FOOT SURFACE AREA AND THEY ARE MADE WITH 2X4 OR 4X4 SUPPORTS. PALLETS ARE TO BE ADEQUATELY PADDED WITH SECURED MATTRESSES ON THE TOP AND EDGES. HAVE MAINTENANCE CREW SLIDE THEM UNDER THE AIRCRAFT INBOARD OF THE BROKEN LANDING GEAR, POSITIONED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO ANTENNAS. THE AIRCRAFT WILL SETTLE SLIGHTLY DURING SHUT DOWN DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE MATTRESSES AND AIRFRAME (GENERALLY 0 INCHES TO 6 INCHES). CAUTION: ENSURE MATTRESSES AND PALLETS ARE POSITIONED ON AND AROUND STRUCTURAL FLOOR BEAMS AND THAT ACCESS TO THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR REPAIRS AFTER SHUTDOWN. ENSURE PALLETS ARE ADEQUATELY COVERED AND SECURED WITH MATTRESSES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO FLOOR BEAMS AND AIRFRAME AND AIRCRAFT SKIN. DO NOT PLACE UNDER FUEL PODS OR RAMP. (4) PERFORM A HOVER LANDING WITH FLIGHT ENGINEER IN COMMUNICATION WITH PILOT. ONCE LANDED, CONTINUE TO REDUCE COLLECTIVE SMOOTHLY UNTIL REACHING GROUND DETENT POSITION. PERFORM EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES. IF IT IS POSSIBLE, IT IS BETTER TO HAVE THE FLIGHT ENGINEER AND A GROUND GUIDE POSITIONED FOR A CLEAR VIEW DURING LANDING/SHUTDOWN AND FLIGHT ENGINEER IN COMMUNICATION WITH PILOT DURING THIS PROCEDURE. (5) AN ALTERNATE METHOD TO USING PALLETS AND MATTRESSES IS TO STACK FILLED SANDBAGS, APPROXIMATELY 4 FOOT BY 4 FOOT SQUARE, WITH SANDBAGS ALTERNATING DIRECTION TO PREVENT ROLLING, LEANING OR KICK-OUT OF THE BAGS. BAGS SHOULD BE STACKED TO WITHIN SIX INCHES OF THE AIRCRAFT'S NORMAL SITTING HEIGHT. AS WITH THE PALLET METHOD, ENSURE THAT THE SAND BAGS ARE STACKED INBOARD OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THAT ADEQUATE SPACE IS LEFT FOR REPAIR OF THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY AFTER SHUT-DOWN. AS WITH THE PALLET METHOD, ENSURE SANDBAGS ARE NOT STACKED UNDER FUEL PODS OR THE RAMP, AND THAT THE SANDBAGS WILL BE POSITIONED UNDER FRAME MEMBERS. WHEN USING SAND BAGS INSTEAD OF PALLETS, THE RAMP SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE UP POSITION. 10. SUPPLY/PARTS AND DISPOSITION - N/A. 11. SPECIAL TOOLS AND FIXTURES REQUIRED - N/A. 12. APPLICATION - A.
