81-04-10 KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.: Amendment 39-4045. Applies to Models KV107-II and KV107-IIA helicopters, certificated in all categories, with pilot or copilot cyclic stick boots, P/N 107S2226-9, installed.

Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished.

To prevent possible restriction of cyclic stick travel, which could result in an unsafe flight condition, accomplish the following:

(a) Within the next 25 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, loosen the velcro tape and camloc fasteners securing the pilot and copilot cyclic stick boots, P/N 107S2226-9, and remove the boots.

(b) Remove the two rivets which attach the forward spring, P/N 107S2226-12, to the forward end of the boot base and discard the forward spring.

(c) Install washers and new rivets to plug the resulting two empty holes in the boot base.

(d) Reinstall the pilot and copilot stick boots.

(e) In accordance with FAR Sections 21.197 and 21.199, the helicopter may be flown to a base where the modification can be accomplished.

This amendment becomes effective February 26, 1981.
