Alert Service Bulletin: ASB MBB-BK117 C-2-67A-015

This alert service bulletin describes inspecting the control rod of the yaw SEMA for corrosion under the heat-shrinkable sleeve. Helicopters manufactured from 2004 to 2012 with a specific serial number range are affected. The inspection requires visually checking the area under the sleeve for corrosion and removing the sleeve. The repetitive inspection requirement has been added to other manuals, so it is no longer required by this bulletin.

ALERT SERVICE BULLETIN


PROTECTIVE MEASURE

ROTOR FLIGHT CONTROL -- Tail rotor controls Inspection of the control rod of the YAW
SEMA with heat--shrinkable sleeve

Revision No. Date of issue

Revision 0 2012-01-23
Revision 1 2016-03-17
Revision 2 2020-02-24

Summary:

During an inspection, corrosion was detected on the control rod of the YAW SEMA (Smart
Electro-Mechanical Actuator). The corrosion was caused by water accumulation under the
heat-shrinkable sleeve. With this Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) the heat-shrinkable sleeve will be
removed and the control rod inspected for corrosion.

Reason for last Revision:


Please replace Revision 1 of this ASB with Revision 2.

The repetitive inspection has been incorporated in the Master Service Manual (MSM 05-24-00) and
in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM 67-20-00, 6-1). Therefore, with Revision 2, the repetitive
inspection is deleted in this ASB.

If Revision 1 of this ASB has already been accomplished, no additional work is required due to this
Revision.

Compliance:

See Section 1.E.1 and 1.E.2.

1.A. EFFECTIVITY

1.A.1. Helicopters/installed equipment

(a) MBB-BK117 C-2, S/N 9004 up to and including S/N 9600 (*) with control rods on which the
grounding strip is installed with a heat-shrinkable sleeve.
(*) During the installation of the YAW-SEMA i.a.w. design document B673M4002051 and B673M4003051, the grounding
strip is attached with cable ties to the control rod as a standard procedure. This procedure was introduced to the serial
production of helicopters from S/N 9601 and up and can be retrofitted with SB MBB-BK117 C-2-67-019. With
accomplishment of SB MBB-BK117 C-2-67-019 the ASB MBB-BK117 C-2-67A-015 becomes ineffective.
