Fin attachment bulletin

ASB 55.00.12 Revision 1 (issued 2009.01.05) improves fatigue strength of the upper and lower fin attachment. It followed an event where an upper fin tilted leftwards during take-off on an Ecureuil-family aircraft. The mod enlarges bolt holes from 7 mm to 7.5 mm and fits special higher-head bolts and washers. Work takes about 4 hours and about 1 day of downtime.

What to check in the records

Ask for the recorded embodiment of MOD 073330 and compliance with ASB 55.00.12 in the aircraft documents. Pre-MOD and post-MOD fins are physically but not functionally interchangeable, and mixing parts is prohibited. Retrofitted fins carry new part numbers, e.g. 355A14-0522-00XX becomes 355A08-5508-0201.

Camera/searchlight mount

If an Airfilm AF200-2 mount is fitted, it needs a visual inspection every 100 hours. Every 1000 hours it must be removed and disassembled for inspection. No field repair or overhaul is allowed. Any crack or bolt hole elongation, or dents, scratches or nicks over 0.010 inches, means removal from service. Tube dents over 0.020 inches also mean removal.

Safety notes

  • Confirm fin bolts P/N 350A23-4016-20 and washers P/N 350A23-4017-22 are fitted (4 of each per helicopter) under mandatory ASB 55.00.12.
  • AF200-2 mount: any crack or any bolt hole elongation means the mount must be removed from service and returned to Airfilm Camera Systems.
