Maintenance disclosure history
Service Difficulty Reports are self-reported maintenance findings. The NUMBER of reports is not a measure of reliability — diligent operators file more, not fewer. These are shown for transparency, not as a negative signal. To verify a report, search its control number at the FAA SDRS site.
Reports span 2001–2015. Most-reported systems: Hydraulic power (29) — 1; Tail rotor drive (65) — 1. Most-common natures of condition, as filed: INFLIGHT SEPARATION — 1; OTHER — 1.
2 reports on file.

Part: LINE — CHAFED (RT MLG WW)
HYDRAULIC PUMP PRESSURE LINE (PN790246-167) AND HYDRAULIC SUPPLY LINE (PN 790246-167). HYDRAULIC LINES ARE LOCATED FORWARD OF EACH MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY ON LOWER REAR F/W. LINES COME FROM ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMP AND GO TO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE REGULATOR. THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR VIBRATIONS FOR THE FIRST 16 INCHES OF THESE LINES WHERE THEY EXIT F/W. LINES ARE PERMITTED TO CHAFE EACH OTHER. THESE LINE CHAFED AND PRESSURE LINE RUPTURED DEPLETING ALL PRESSURE AND HYDRAULIC FLUID SUPPLY CAUSING LOSS OF USE OF NORMAL BRAKING, FLAPS, AND LANDING GEAR. NORMAL INSPECTION OF THESE LINES IS EXETREMELY HARD TO DO. SUGGEST USING 24 INCH EXTENSION TYPE FLASH LIGHT.
