4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM -
A. HISTORY -
(1) TIE BAR PLATE FAILURE - REPORTS FROM THE FIELD ON TIE BAR
ASSEMBLIES INDICATE THAT TIE BAR PLATE CRACKS HAVE OCCURRED MUCH EARLIER THAN
THE RETIREMENT LIFE OF 8693 HOURS. EVEN THOUGH THE TIE BAR ASSEMBLY IS
CURRENTLY INSPECTED AT 1200 HOURS AND AT THE 2400 HOUR OVERHAUL, IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT SOME FIELDED TIE BARS MAY HAVE TIE BAR PLATES WHICH HAVE CRACKED.
(2) TIE BAR OVER SPEED DAMAGE - TESTING HAS SHOWN THAT INITIAL
DEFORMATION OF THE ROTARY WING HEAD TIE BAR ASSEMBLY MAY OCCUR AT A POINT JUST
ABOVE 111 PERCENT ROTOR RPM. CURRENTLY, THE 145ES008 ROTOR TACHOMETERS
(ALL H-47D/F) AND MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAYS (MFD) (MH-47E) INDICATE 115 PERCENT
RPM AS THE MAXIMUM TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED LIMIT. BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME TIE BAR
ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO EXCEEDING 111 PERCENT RPM.
B. MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS - SEE PARA 12.
C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO -
(1) TIE BAR ASSEMBLY -
(A) REDUCE THE RETIREMENT LIFE OF THE ASSEMBLY TO 4800 HOURS TIME
SINCE NEW (TSN).
(B) REPLACE ALL ASSEMBLIES WITH MORE THAN 4800 HOURS TSN.
(C) INSPECT ALL ASSEMBLIES WITH LESS THAN 4800 HOURS TSN FOR
CRACKS.
(2) MAXIMUM TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED LIMIT -
(A) REQUIRE REWORK OF ALL 145ES008 ROTOR TACHOMETERS (ALL H-47D/F)
AND UPDATE SOFTWARE (MH-47E) TO INDICATE THE MAX TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED OF 111
PERCENT RPM.
(B) CHANGE THE MAX TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED TO BE 111 PERCENT RPM IN
THE OPERATOR'S MANUALS.
(C) ESTABLISH A CONDITIONAL INSPECTION OF THE TIE BAR ASSEMBLY IF
111 PERCENT ROTOR SPEED IS EXCEEDED.
5. END ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED - ALL H-47 SERIES AIRCRAFT.
6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED -
NOMENCLATURE PART NO. NSN
ROTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY 145R2003-ALL ALL
ROTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY 145R2004-ALL ALL
