LIFE-LIMITED COMPONENTS

3.000 Life-Limited Components

3.001 Introduction

This section lists fatigue life-limited parts and specified overhaul requirements for the R44
helicopter.

3.002 Time-In-Service Records

It is the operator’s responsibility to maintain accurate time-in-service records for the airframe,
engine, and life-limited components. An hourmeter activated by engine oil pressure is
standard equipment on earlier R44 helicopters. Later helicopters are equipped with an
hourmeter activated by a combination of oil pressure and up collective; the hourmeter
will record time only when engine oil pressure exists and the collective is raised. Either
hourmeter is an acceptable means of recording time in service (refer to Section 1.006).

Calendar time in service for the airframe and engine begins on the date of the original RHC-
issued Export (or Standard) Certificate of Airworthiness for the helicopter. Calendar time
in service for spares without a storage limit (refer to Section 1.490) begins on the date of
the RHC-issued Airworthiness Approval Tag (Authorized Release Certificate) issued with
the invoice.

When installing a life-limited part or a part with an overhaul requirement, record in the
helicopter maintenance record the installation date, part number, part name, serial number,
helicopter total time, and time in service accumulated by part since new or since last
overhaul, as applicable.

WARNING

Components with mandatory overhaul or retirement intervals

whose time-in-service is not reliably documented cannot be
considered airworthy and must be removed from service.

3.003 Fatigue Life-Limited Parts

The Airworthiness Limitations Section 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 must be removed from the helicopter at the specified intervals and permanently
retired from service by destroying or damaging each part so it cannot inadvertently be
returned to service. Fatigue lives are based upon normal flight service, including 6 rotor
stop-starts and 10 autorotation entries per hour.

JUN 2014 Page 3.1

3.100 Overhaul Requirements

3.110 Powerplant Overhaul Requirements

The engine must be overhauled in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s overhaul
recommendations and procedures. Refer to latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service
Instructions No. 1009.

3.120 Aircraft Overhaul Requirements

The complete airframe, including rotor systems, drive system, control system, and
fuselage, must be overhauled as instructed by Robinson Helicopter Company when any of
the following occur:

1. When the helicopter has been operated for 2200 hours since new or since last overhaul.

2. When an inspection of the helicopter indicates extensive subsurface corrosion in the

primary structure, drive system or control system.

3. When the helicopter condition has deteriorated so the helicopter can no longer meet
the performance, controllability or safety specifications given in the Pilot’s Operating
Handbook.

4. When the aircraft has been in service for twelve years since new or since last overhaul,
regardless of the hours flown.

WARNING

Suspected damaged parts removed from damaged aircraft are

not to be reinstalled in any aircraft unless part has been returned
to RHC, together with its damage history, for inspection and is
found by RHC to be airworthy.
