The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule concerning Hélicoptères Guimbal Model Cabri G2 helicopters due to a reported crack in a rotating scissor fitting. This directive requires initial and repeated inspections of the aircraft's rotating and non-rotating scissor fittings, with mandatory replacements if cracks are found. The rule also prohibits installing certain parts unless they have passed an initial inspection. These measures aim to prevent the potential unsafe condition that could lead to loss of helicopter control.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of flying safety found a problem in a kind of helicopter part that might break. They now want to check these parts often and fix them if needed to make sure the helicopters stay safe to fly.
