Airworthiness Directive Issued for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model Helicopters

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is revising an existing airworthiness directive for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model 222, 222B, 222U, 230, and 430 helicopters to require more frequent inspections and repetitive actions to prevent potential failure of the main rotor hydraulic actuator support and loss of control of the helicopter.
