## Summary

The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for various model helicopters with certain part-numbered Goodrich externally-mounted hoist assemblies (hoists) installed. This action revises the NPRM by adding a figure and revising certain requirements. The FAA is proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since some of these actions would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the agency is requesting comments on this SNPRM.
