An AD became active earlier this month, AD 2018-02-08, in regards to Helicopter Technology Company UH-1 Blades PN 204P2100-101, putting them under the current inspection program required on Bell Blades. We contacted HTC and recieved a very positive response including the fact that HTC is currently testing blades with new part number and titanium grips that, upon approval, will not be under the AD inspection requirements. For more information and full response to AD check out the
HTC Page on UH1OPS.
