Background:  The Directive is in response to the discovery of a case of broken screw heads of the swashplate bearing attaching screws.  In time, these screw head losses could lead to a helicopter control loss.

             This amendment incorporates the existing requirements of current Directive and introduces a periodic inspection of the swashplate bearing attaching screw heads integrity.

             The original issue of this Directive became effective on 9 May 2005.
