CRASH DAMAGE
Because of the many possible combinations that can
result from crash damage, it is not possible to include
the specific repair tasks in this category. The
helicopter mechanic must make an analysis of the
crash damage for each situation. Do the repair in
accordance with the degree of damage to the specific
part and the applicable repair procedures in this
manual. Call Bell Helicopter Textron Product Support
Engineering with your analysis of the crash damage.

TYPES OF INSPECTIONS
1.
The maintenance procedures may include
scheduled inspections, special inspections, conditional
inspections, component interim inspections, and
component overhaul inspections.
a.
Scheduled inspections must occur at specified
operating intervals. The intervals may be in operating
time (hours), cycles, torque events (RIN), calendar
(days, months, years) or other assigned units. This
makes sure that the helicopter is airworthy.
b.
Special inspections are of a temporary nature
or of a special interval that is not consistent with the
scheduled inspections.
c.
Conditional inspections do not occur at a
specified time. A conditional inspection is the result of
known or suspected unusual event, known or
suspected malfunctions, or defects.
d.
An interim inspection occurs between
overhauls.
e.
The component overhaul schedule gives the
elapsed operating time at which a component must be
removed, disassembled, examined for condition, and
overhauled, in accordance with data approved by Bell
Helicopter Textron.
2.
Lubrication and servicing requirements are in
addition to those stated in this chapter (Chapter 12).
