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 114R3650-9 AND BACB30ST10-40 BOLTS ARE FLIGHT SAFETY
PARTS. THE 114R3650-9 BOLT ASSEMBLY IS USED FOR ATTACHMENT OF
THE DRIVE SCISSORS UPPER ARM TO THE DRIVE COLLAR ASSEMBLY ON BOTH
THE FORWARD AND AFT ROTOR HEADS. THE BACB30ST10-40 SELF-
RETAINING BOLT IS USED FOR ATTACHMENT OF THE FIXED LINK TO THE
YOKE ASSEMBLY IN THE AFT PYLON CONTROLS INSTALLATION. SOME OF
THE 114R3650-9 AND BACB30ST10-40 BOLTS WERE FIELDED WITHOUT BEING
QUALIFIED BY FATIGUE TESTING AS AN ALTERNATE SOURCE.
B. MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS - SEE PARA 12.
C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO -
(1) INSPECT ALL 114R3650-9 AND BACB30ST10-40 BOLTS
INSTALLED ON H-47 SERIES AIRCRAFT AND IN STOCK.
(2) REPLACE ALL 114R3650-9 AND BACB30ST10-40 BOLTS THAT
DO NOT EXHIBIT A QUALIFIED AND FATIGUE TESTED CAGE CODE OR
MANUFACTURERS NAME ON THE BOLTS AT THE NEXT PHASE INSPECTION OR
30 SEPTEMBER 2002, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.
