1.A. EFFECTIVITY
NOTE 1
NOTE 2
In order to allow to the full application of this Service Bulletin, unserviceable MGB can be installed the on the
aircraft before the replacement of the epicyclic reduction gear.
This operation requires to follow usual cautions and prevention means such as:
- INSTALL the MGB on bottom blocks (MGB suspension bars not installed),
- DO NOT INSTALL the main rotor mast and MGB equipment and furnishings,
- KEEP the shackle fixed on the top of the MGB.
CAUTION
1.C. REASON
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to describe the procedure for replacing the epicyclic reduction gear of
the MGB (Main Gearbox), without removing the helicopter MGB, as part of the bearing type change on the
planet gear carrier.
Purpose of Revision 1:
The purpose of this revision 1 of this Service Bulletin was to provide details on the replacement method for
the epicyclic reducer and to eliminate the case of the epicyclic reducer that did not pass the Airbus
