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 2014–2023. Most-reported systems: Navigation (34) — 1; Main rotor drive (63) — 1. Most-common natures of condition, as filed: OTHER — 2.

2 reports on file.
