4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM -
A. HISTORY -
(1) TIE BAR PLATE FAILURE - REPORTS FROM THE FIELD ON
TIE BAR ASSEMBLIES INDICATE THAT TIE BAR PLATE CRACKS HAVE
OCCURRED MUCH EARLIER THAN THE RETIREMENT LIFE OF 8693 HOURS.
EVEN THOUGH THE TIE BAR ASSEMBLY IS CURRENTLY INSPECTED AT 1200
HOURS AND AT THE 2400 HOUR OVERHAUL, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME
FIELDED TIE BARS MAY HAVE TIE BAR PLATES WHICH HAVE CRACKED.
(2) TIE BAR OVER SPEED DAMAGE - TESTING HAS SHOWN THAT
INITIAL DEFORMATION OF THE ROTARY WING HEAD TIE BAR ASSEMBLY MAY
OCCUR AT A POINT JUST ABOVE 111 PERCENT ROTOR RPM. CURRENTLY,
THE 145ES008 ROTOR TACHOMETERS (ALL H-47D/F) AND MULTI FUNCTION
DISPLAYS (MFD) (MH-47E) INDICATE 115 PERCENT RPM AS THE MAXIMUM
TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED LIMIT. BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME TIE BAR
ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO EXCEEDING 111
PERCENT RPM.
B. MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS - SEE PARA 12.
C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO -
(1) TIE BAR ASSEMBLY -
(A) REDUCE THE RETIREMENT LIFE OF THE ASSEMBLY TO
4800 HOURS TIME SINCE NEW (TSN).
(B) REPLACE ALL ASSEMBLIES WITH MORE THAN 4800
HOURS TSN.
(C) INSPECT ALL ASSEMBLIES WITH LESS THAN 4800
HOURS TSN FOR CRACKS.
(2) MAXIMUM TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED LIMIT -
(A) REQUIRE REWORK OF ALL 145ES008 ROTOR
TACHOMETERS (ALL H-47D/F) AND UPDATE SOFTWARE (MH-47E) TO
INDICATE THE MAX TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED OF 111 PERCENT RPM.
(B) CHANGE THE MAX TRANSIENT ROTOR SPEED TO BE 111
PERCENT RPM IN THE OPERATOR'S MANUALS.
(C) ESTABLISH A CONDITIONAL INSPECTION OF THE TIE
BAR ASSEMBLY IF 111 PERCENT ROTOR SPEED IS EXCEEDED.
5. END ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED - ALL H-47 SERIES AIRCRAFT.
6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED -
NOMENCLATURE PART NO. NSN
ROTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY 145R2003-ALL ALL
ROTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY 145R2004-ALL ALL
