87-15-01 BELL HELICOPTER TEXTRON, INC.: Amendment 39-5672. Applies to Model 206L-1 and 206L-3 helicopters, certificated in any category, with stabilizer assembly, Part Number (P/N) 206-023-119-151, installed.

Compliance is required as indicated (unless already accomplished).

To prevent abnormal flying qualities and possible failure of the stabilizer assembly, accomplish the following:

(a) Within the next 25 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, inspect the stabilizer assembly P/N 206-023-119-151 and determine if one of the following Serial Numbers (S/N) is installed: A0-02065, A0-02069, A0-02075, A0-02080, A0-02084, A0-02095, A0-02097, A0-02126, A0-02132, A0-02136, A0-02144, A0-02149, A0-02150, A0-02166, A0-10644. If one of these stabilizers/ assemblies is installed, replace prior to further flight.

Note: Typically the P/N and S/N are located in the concave portion of the trailing edge of the stabilizer assembly (fixed portion) forward of the elevator assembly (movable portion).

(b) Alternative inspections, modifications, or other actions which provide an equivalent method of compliance may be used when approved by the Manager, Helicopter Certification Branch, Southwest Region, Federal Aviation Administration, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0170.

This amendment, 39-5672, becomes effective August 6, 1987.
