4-12 Fatigue Life-Limited Parts
The Airworthiness Limitations Section (ref. § 4-30) lists the mandatory replacement
schedule for fatigue life-limited parts.
If a part is fatigue life-limited or has a mandatory overhaul requirement and is interchanged
between an R44 and an R66 helicopter, and if the part life-limit or overhaul requirement
is different between an R44 and an R66 helicopter, the shorter life-limit or overhaul
requirement must be used. If a part is fatigue life-limited or has a mandatory overhaul
requirement, and the accumulated cycles and/or time in service are known but the
helicopter type is unknown, the shorter life-limit or overhaul requirement must be used.
Listed items (ref. § 4-30) must be removed from the helicopter at the specified intervals
and permanently retired from service, preferably by destroying or damaging each part so
it cannot inadvertently be returned to service.
