a helicopter.

            This Amendment becomes effective on 28 December 2000.

            Background:  An undersized replacement swashplate shaft was discovered during routine maintenance in the US. An undersized shaft could lead to failure of the shaft and loss of control of the helicopter. This Directive is to check all helicopters for correctly sized shafts and to remove and replace any that are found to be undersized. This amendment has been raised to: add an additional helicopter model, clarify which helicopters are affected, include requirements for affected assemblies held as spares and to refer to the latest issue of the relevant Schweizer service bulletins as the action documents. Helicopters complying with the original issue of the airworthiness directive could be affected by this amendment as some helicopters may now not be applicable.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 29 September 1999.
