Tail rotor pitch link bulletin

Part I, before the next flight: check the link bearings for corrosion and free rotation. Part II, within 5 flight hours: remove the links, check that bearing torsion force is below 7.30 N on both bearings, and inspect the stem for cracks with a 10x magnifier. Use penetrant inspection if in doubt. The trigger was an in-flight link seizure on an A119MkII after a bearing was replaced in overhaul.

Flight data monitor STC

The MSP Aero flight data monitor ICA lists the AW109SP among the covered Agusta models. The installation adds 3 pounds to empty weight, so the empty weight and balance and the equipment list must be updated. It needs an annual inspection every 12 calendar months and has no airworthiness limitations. LED: green is normal, red is a fault, off is a power interruption.

Safety notes

  • Do not reset a tripped FDMS circuit breaker while flying; check wiring continuity on the ground.
  • If damage or deterioration of the flight data monitor is suspected, remove the helicopter from service until the equipment is shown to be safe.
  • Compliance with bulletin 109SP-087 must be recorded in the aircraft log book; forward it to the new owner if ownership changes.
