Airworthiness Directive 95-24-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron, a Division of Textron Canada, Model 206B and 206L Helicopters
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Bell Helicopter Textron, a Division of Textron Canada (BHT), Model 206B and 206L helicopters, that currently requires a revision to the Limitations section of the FAA-approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) until replacement of the engine power-out warning sensor on BHT Model 206B and 206L helicopters equipped with Allison 250-C20R engines in accordance with certain supplemental type certificates. This amendment requires a revision to the Limitations section of the STC RFMS, but removes the requirement for replacement of the engine power-out warning sensor. This amendment is prompted by a reevaluation of the need for an engine power-out warning sensor based on the lack of reported operational occurrences of the false engine-out warnings. The actions specified by this AD are intended to maintain a heightened pilot awareness that false engine-out warnings may occur when practicing autorotations and could result in an unnecessary emergency autorotative landing.
Which aircraft AD 95-24-06 applies to
Applies to helicopters with the applicable Soloy Corporation STC installed. Within 10 days, revise the Limitations section of the FAA-approved STC Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) to add the warning/note in Soloy SB 02-680 (rev. Dec 8, 1992) alerting pilots to a potential false engine-out warning during practice autorotations. Special flight permits will not be issued.
Whether AD 95-24-06 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.
