THESE BONDING STRAPS ARE INSTALLED UNDER BT 109EP-51 DATED 2-9-2005 THESE STRAPS ARE THE GROUNDING POINTS FOR THE HELIPILOT SYSTEM. IT IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE BREAKING. THEY SHOULD BE A BONDING BRAID INSTEAD OF A SHEETMETAL STRAP. WE HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH MFG AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
