Summary
This notice reopens an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Breeze Eastern Aerospace rescue hoists, that would require a one-time inspection of the mounting brackets for cracks, and, if necessary, replacement with serviceable parts. This proposal is prompted by reports of cracked mounting brackets. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent mounting bracket cracks, which could result in mounting bracket failure and separation of the rescue hoist from the aircraft.
