The airworthiness directive

57-12-02 BELL: Applies to Model 47H1 Helicopters Serial Numbers 1349, 1351 Through 1360, 1362, 1363, 1365 Through 1371.

Compliance required as soon as possible but not later than August 1, 1957.

In order to prevent possible failure of the tail boom attach bolts the following inspection and rework should be accomplished.

1. Visually inspect the four (4) tail boom attach fittings 47-265-026-1 and -2 on the forward bulkhead to determine if all eight (8) bolt hole locations (2 in each fitting) have been spot faced. It is necessary to remove the baggage compartment floor section in order to make this inspection.

2. If it is found that any or all the bolt hole locations have not been spot faced, it is required that they be spot faced in accordance with the instructions given in Bell Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 116, dated November 9, 1956.
