4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM -
NOTE
CRITICAL SAFETY ITEMS (CSI) WERE PREVIOUSLY
KNOWN AS FLIGHT SAFETY PARTS (FSP).
A. THE ORIGINAL QUALIFICATION (FATIGUE TESTING) OF CRITICAL
SAFETY ITEMS (CSI) WAS DONE BY BOEING HELICOPTERS UNDER ARMY
DIRECTION. THE FATIGUE TESTING OF THESE PARTS SUBSTANTIATED
THEIR SERVICE LIFE AND THE PARTS DESIGN WAS CONSIDERED QUALIFIED.
IN OCTOBER 1995, A CHANGE IN THE ARMY FLIGHT SAFETY PART (FSP)
POLICY REQUIRED THAT PARTS MANUFACTURED BY AUTHORIZED
VENDORS/SUPPLIERS AND ORIGINALLY QUALIFIED BY THE PRIME
CONTRACTOR MUST BE FATIGUE TESTED. THE H-47 AFT YOKE SUPPORT
SHAFT, P/N 114C3044-2 IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM (CSI). THE
114C3044-2 SHAFT IS USED TO ATTACH THE YOKE ASSEMBLY, P/N
114C3043-6 TO THE AIRFRAME. FAILURE OF THIS SHAFT WOULD RESULT
IN LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE AFT ROTOR HEAD. SOME 114C3044-2 SHAFTS
WERE FIELDED WITHOUT BEING QUALIFIED AS AN ALTERNATE SOURCE BY
FATIGUE TESTING.
B. MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS - SEE PARA 12.
C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO -
(1) INSPECT ALL 114C3044-2 AFT YOKE SUPPORT SHAFTS
INSTALLED ON H-47 SERIES AIRCRAFT AND IN STOCK.
(2) REPLACE ALL 114C3044-2 AFT YOKE SUPPORT SHAFTS THAT
DO NOT EXHIBIT A QUALIFIED AND FATIGUE TESTED CAGE CODE OR
MANUFACTURERS NAME ON THE SHAFTS AT THE NEXT PHASE INSPECTION, OR
31 DECEMBER 2002, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.
