To prevent failure of the above listed finite life components accomplish the following:

(a) Within fifty (50) hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished, inspect the service history of each of the finite life components listed in this AD for adequacy of documentation.

NOTE: The finite life components may be documented by serial number, part nomenclature, part number or any combination.

(b) For those finite life components listed in this AD for which service history can be documented, no further action is required by this AD.

(c) For any finite life component listed in this AD for which service history cannot be documented:

(1) Prior to further flight, remove and replace those finitelife components whose replacement period is less than helicopter total time in service.

(2) Within five hundred (500) hours time in service from the effective date of this AD, remove and replace those components whose replacement period is greater than helicopter total time in service.

NOTE: The Criteria in (c), (1) and (2) applies to aircraft in service. Finite life criteria for aircraft submitted for original airworthiness certification are contained in AC-21-13.

(d) Only finite life components for which prior service history or representation as new can be documented may be used as replacement parts. Equivalent inspection procedures may be used when approved by the Chief, Aircraft Engineering Division, FAA Western Region.

This amendment becomes effective December 14, 1978.
