The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Robinson Helicopter Company Model R44 and R44 II helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by several reports of failed clutch actuators and failed rivets attaching the belt tension clutch actuator brackets (bracket) to the fan scroll housing. This proposed AD would require inspecting each bracket and, depending on the results, accomplishing additional inspections or taking any necessary corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
