Compliance:       If a Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) has not been issued for the helicopter – before the issue of the CofA.

                  If a CofA has been issued for the helicopter – within 30 days after the effective date of this Directive.
                  The effective date of this AD is 27 April 2018.
Background:       The FAA ADs listed in Table 1 of this Directive require once-only actions for which the compliance date and/or period has passed. CASA has determined that these ADs may be applicable to recently registered Bell 214 helicopters. This Directive is issued to ensure all State of Design ADs are complied with.

                  CASA acknowledges that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration and modification status, some of the ADs listed in Table 1 will not be applicable to some aircraft.
