           Background: This Directive was prompted by advice that a manufacturing defect has been detected in a batch of rods of the main servocontrol. Failure of the rod will lead to loss of control of the helicopter. This amendment is prompted by additional defects being discovered in servocontrols with additional part numbers and serial numbers.

            This original issue of this Directive became effective 3 December 2001.
