Airworthiness Directive 2022-02-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Helicopters
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-92A helicopters. This AD was prompted by a cracked main rotor stationary swashplate assembly (swashplate assembly). This AD requires visually inspecting the swashplate assembly at specified intervals and depending on the results, removing the swashplate assembly from service. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-02-01 applies to
Applies only if a main rotor stationary swashplate assembly, P/N 92104-15011-042 or P/N 92104-15011-043, that has accumulated 1,600 or more total hours time-in-service, is installed.
Whether AD 2022-02-01 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
