What was found

DURING COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMOC FOR AD 2013-12-06 IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE BOLTS THAT SECURE THE AIR CONDITIONER PULLEY TO THE ROTOR BRAKE DISK WERE NOT THE CORRECT LENGTH. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BOLTS WERE THE CORRECT LENGTH & THE HOLES IN THE PULLEY WERE NOT THREADED THE ENTIRE DEPTH OF THE HOLE. THIS PREVENTED THE BOLTS, WITH THE NEW SAFETY SHEETS INSTALLED, FROM PROPERLY SECURING THE PULLEY TO THE DISK.
