other , expla in : Difference between FAA AD and TCCA AD. Commenter(s): Etienne Rondeau-Garon What change to the AD action is requested? This AD requires inspecting the bearing bores for any pitting after cleaning the T/R link, while the Transport Canada AD requires inspecting for corrosion after cleaning the T/R link." The sentence needs to be clarified, but in any case the Transport Canada AD refers to the Bell ASB that requires inspecting for corrosion before and after cleaning which is no different than the FAA AD. "This AD requires inspecting the sealant with 1

### OX or higher magnificatio n , while the Transport Canada AD does not specify any magnification." Visual inspection of the sealant is sufficient. You can easily see if sealant was damaged or chipped without the 1

### OX or higher magnification
. "This AD does not require reidentifying the 

### PIN of the link, w h ereas the Transport Canada AD does." The part was modified therefore it is not the same part anymore and requires a distinct means of identification. Furthermore unmodified part are not allowed to be re-installed. It the case were operators require to swap parts from one A /C to another, they will be forced to re-inspect the part as they will have no means to know if the AD was applied or not. The Bell ASB also requires re-identification of the part. Not mandating the re-identification could potentially induce confusion among operators. Why is the change requested or how is itjustified?

Page 1 of3IfNO, we don ' t agree because We require inspecting the bearing bores for pitting after cleaning instead of inspecting for corrosion after cleaning. The cleaning process can remove corrosion but the cleaning process will not remove pits in the metal. We disagree that you do not need magnification to inspect the sealant. Corrosion can start in small openings where there is no sealant. We do not require re-identification ofthe part number with the letters " FM" because adding sealant to a part is not a modification (FM is Field Modified). Bell informed the FAA that they are going to change the part number. This ensures every pitch link receives the inspection ofthis AD.
