Fuselage area above horizontal stabilizer for cracks in paint film. Pay
particular attention to flange bend radius and vertical face of aft
bulkhead and entire adjacent aft fuselage skin. Any signs of cracks
requires further inspection before next flight.
Exterior skin for obvious damage and loose rivets. Check for no gap
between fuselage attach points. Check skin around stabilizer fittings
for cracks. Check stabilizer attach bolts for security.
Anticollision light and related wiring for obvious damage and
security.
STABILIZERS, TAIL ROTOR TRANSMISSION AND TAIL ROTOR
Tail skid for security and damage.
Position lights for security and obvious damage.
Tail rotor output shaft protective dust boot for condition.
Tail rotor transmission for security of mounting. Check torque
stripes for movement of the transmission (cracks in the torque paint),
fretting and gaps between the faying surfaces and/or rotation of nuts
and studs.
Tail rotor transmission for excessive oil leakage and correct oil level;
replenish if low.
Tail rotor blade abrasion strips free of damage; no excessive erosion
noted. No separation in bond around edges or at tip end of blade.
Tail rotor blades, fork assembly, and hub and pitch control linkage
for free movement, obvious damage, wear and security.
NOTE
Disregard a snapping noise sometimes heard in tail rotor strap pack
when pitch is changed without centrifugal load being applied.
Retaining nut and lockwasher secure. No broken locking tangs
noted; retaining nut has not rotated.
