manufactured with the two inspection areas primed and
clear-coated.
Part C of this bulletin provides instructions to conduct a
recurring visual inspection of the two primed and clear
coated areas of the high forward crosstube after the
accomplishment of Part B.
Part D of this bulletin provides instructions to conduct a
recurring dimensional inspection of the skid gear to identify
permanent deformation of the crosstube.
Part E of this bulletin provides instructions to conduct a
recurring fluorescent penetrant inspection of the high
forward crosstube.
APPROVAL:  The engineering aspects of this bulletin are FAA/DER
approved.
MANPOWER:  PART A: Approximately 0.5 hours.
PART B: Approximately 3.0 hours.
PART C: Approximately 0.5 hours

ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Upon receipt of this bulletin, determine by part number if affected high forward
crosstube is installed. If affected crosstube is installed, perform the actions contained in
this bulletin. Verify all high forward crosstubes, P/N 212-321-103, comply with the
inspection criteria of Instructions for Continued Airworthiness report number AA-01136
and the applicable model Bell Helicopter Maintenance Manual. Any crosstube failing
inspection shall be removed from service and replaced with an airworthy crosstube.
PART A  HISTORICAL RECORDS
1. An Historical Record Form is provided (Figure 4) for recording of takeoff/landing
operations for high forward crosstubes, P/N 212-321-103, per the compliance
section of this bulletin.
NOTE
Helicopters with takeoff/landings that are higher than the
average of 10 per hour must substitute the higher value in all
estimated calculations.
2. If the actual takeoff/landing information is not available it is permissible to
estimate the number. To determine the number of takeoff/landings on the
crosstube, multiply the airframe hours by a factor of ten.
3. Place the calculated takeoff/landing information on the Historical Record form
and track the applicable takeoff/landing events as per the compliance section of
the bulletin.

PART B  INITIAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENT FOR P/N 212-321-103
CROSSTUBES
NOTE
Crosstube visual inspection is conducted with aircraft at rest
on skid landing gear; minimum gross weight at inspection is
9,000 pounds.
CAUTION
Chemical removers shall be used only in areas of
adequate ventilation. Suitable goggles or face masks,
chemical resistant gloves, boots and clothing shall be
worn to avoid contact of chemical removers with eyes,
skin and clothing. Chemical removers shall further be
handled in accordance with applicable OSHA
regulations, state and local safety codes, and company
established safety standards and policies.
1. Use MIL-PRF-87937 cleaning compound prepared in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations to clean all residue and dirt from the cross tube
surfaces (left side and right side) shown in Figure 1.
NOTE
P/N 212-321-103 Crosstubes with serial number AA-1250
and subsequent are manufactured with the two inspection
areas primed and clear-coated. Steps 2 thru 5, 7 and 8 of
Part B may be skipped unless opaque paint has been
applied to inspection area described below and in Figure 1.
2. Prepare crosstube inspection areas by chemically removing crosstube paint and
primer from an area 2.0 10.25 inches wide extending from BL 40 to BL 2.5 at the
center-bottom surtace of the crosstube on both the left and the right sides of the
crosstube (see Figure 1).
3. Apply MIL-R-81294, Type I or II chemical paint remover with a brush and allow it
to set from 15 to 45 minutes to soften paint.
4. Using a stiff fiber brush and clean water, rinse paint from crosstube. If required,
use abrasive pad (Scotch-Brite, Type A) and MIL-R-81294, Type I or II chemical
paint remover to aid in lifting paint. Brush crosstube with abrasive pad in the
longitudinal direction, using care so as not to abrade crosstube metal surface.
WARNING
DO NOT SAND CROSSTUBE IN A CIRCUMFERENTIAL
DIRECTION.
5. Rinse part clean with clean water and dry thoroughly.

NOTE
Reapplication of chemical paint remover may be required to
ensure that paint and primer is completely removed so that
the metal surface of the cross tube is clearly visible. If
required, repeat steps 2 thru 5.
6. Using at least 10X magnification and a strong light source, visually inspect the
stripped, or clear coated, areas for indications of cracking. If cracking is
suspected, fluorescent penetrant inspect crosstube per ASTM E1417, Type I,
Method B, C, or D, Level 2 in accordance with Bell Helicopter Standard Practices
Manual (BHT-ALL-SPM).
WARNING
IF CRACKING IS DISCOVERED, THE CROSSTUBE IS NO
LONGER AIRWORTHY AND MUST BE IMMEDIATELY
REPLACED. REPLACE CROSSTUBE PER APPLICABLE
INSTRUCTIONS IN INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED
AIRWORTHINESS, REPORT NUMBER AA-01136.
7. Following crosstube inspection, coat the stripped crosstube area with
MIL-PRF-85582 primer (.0006 - .0009 thick) by spraying in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. Allow primer to cure per manufacturer instructions.
NOTE
The MIL-PRF-85582 primer (PRC-DeSoto EWDE 072A/B)
[packaged as a 1-gallon, 1-qt (Parts A&B) kit (P/N
EWDE072)] and the MIL-PRF-85285, Type | clear coat paint
(Deft 03X085) [packaged as a 3-qt kit (P/N MIL-PRF-85285)]

Products, Inc., 6413 Midway Road, Halton City, TX 76117
(817-332-1669).
8. Following primer cure, paint the area with MIL-PRF-85285 polyurethane clear
coat paint by spraying in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Allow
paint to cure per manufacturer instructions.

E.2  Cleaning and Preparation
1. Remove aged sealant by scraping with a sharp piece of plastic. Finish by lightly
sanding with 400 grit abrasive cloth or paper in the longitudinal direction of the
crosstube.
WARNING
DO NOT SAND CROSSTUBE IN A CIRCUMFERENTIAL
DIRECTION.
2. Prepare crosstube by chemically removing crosstube paint and primer to top of
saddles. See Figure 3.
a. Apply MIL-R-81294, Type I or II chemical paint remover with a brush and
allow it to set from 15 to 45 minutes to soften paint.
