SPARE PARTS WARRANTY
ONE YEAR/1,000 HOURS PRORATED
WARRANTY AND REMEDY: Seller warrants each new helicopter part or helicopter part reconditioned by seller to be free from defect
in material and workmanship under normal use and service and if installed on Bell model helicopters. Sellers sole obligation under this
warranty is limited to replacement or repair of parts which are determined to Sellers reasonable satisfaction to have been defective
with 1,000 hours of operation or one (1) year after installation, whichever occurs first and reimbursement of reasonable freight charges.
After 200 hours of use, there will be a prorated charge to the Purchaser for replacement parts (prorating the hours of total use against
the then applicable part life or 2,000 hours, whichever is the lesser). Defective parts must be reported in writing to the Sellers Warranty
Administration within 90 days of being found defective. Replacement of parts may be with either new or reconditioned parts, at Sellers
election. Warranty adjustment is contingent upon the Purchaser complying with the Warranty Remedies as described in the
Commercial Warranty Information brochure and the Sellers Warranty Administration disposition instructions for defective parts. Failure
to comply with all of the terms of this paragraph may, at Sellers sole option, void this warranty.
NOTE: Parts, components and assemblies of all new helicopters may have been restored or reworked due to mars, blemishes, dents
or other irregularities during the manufacturing process. Such restoration and/or rework is permitted under Sellers approved
manufacturing and engineering processes and guidelines. The restoration and/or rework so completed does not render such items
defective in material or workmanship.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN PLACE OF (i) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND (ii) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN CONTRACTOR
IN TORT (DELICT), INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITIES BASED UPON STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY IN LAW.

This chapter contains the time limit interval and
requirements for the Scheduled, Special, and
Conditional Inspections and a Component Overhaul
Schedule.
FAILURE TO CORRECT CONDITIONS
SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
CORROSION, EROSION, MECHANICAL
DAMAGE, OR OBVIOUS WEAR FOUND
DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION
COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE
AIRWORTHINESS OF THE HELICOPTER.
The inspection intervals given in this chapter are the
maximum permitted. Do not exceed these intervals.
The owner/operator are responsible for increasing the
scope and frequency of the inspections as necessary.
Make sure the helicopter is operated safely during all
unusual local changes, such as environmental
conditions, helicopter use, etc. You can request
changes to the requirements in this chapter through
the local aviation authority.
The inspection intervals and the Component Overhaul
Schedule given in this chapter are applicable only to
Bell Helicopter Textron approved parts.
The time period given for overhaul of a
component (or the failure to give a time
period for the overhaul of a component)
does not constitute a warranty of any kind.
The only warranty applicable to the
helicopter or any component is the
warranty included in the Purchase
Agreement for the helicopter or the
component.
The Time Between Overhaul (TBO) and the inspection
periods are determined through experience, tests,
Lead-The-Fleet (LTF), or any other special programs
and the judgement of Bell Helicopter Textron
engineers. They are subject to change only by Bell
Helicopter Textron or an approved airworthiness
authority.
Changes to TBO will be introduced by either revision
to the Maintenance Manual Chapter 5 or a Technical
Bulletin.
Every calendar and hourly inspection is a thorough
visual inspection to determine the airworthiness of the
helicopter and components. Qualified persons must do
the inspections in accordance with quality standard
aircraft practices and the applicable maintenance
manuals. Bell Helicopter Textron considers that it is
mandatory to obey all the applicable Alert Service
Bulletins (ASB) and Airworthiness Directives (AD).
Component operating time records are necessary for
components that have scheduled maintenance
procedures that are different from those of the
airframe. It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to
keep Historical Service Records for the applicable
components and do the necessary maintenance
procedures.
Before each inspection, remove or open the
necessary cowlings, fairings, inspection doors, and
panels.
5-2.ITEMS NOT COVERED IN THE
INSPECTIONS
This manual does not include specific inspection
intervals for some components such as the compass
calibration and the pitot static test. These specific
inspection intervals are given by your government
regulatory authority. Refer to their requirements for
these specific inspections.
The owner/operator of the helicopter is responsible for
the maintenance done on the helicopter. It is the
owner/operator’s responsibility to:
1.Establish and maintain log books, and review
them for discrepancies.
2.Make sure that the Alert Service Bulletins (ASB),
the Airworthiness Directives (AD), and the special
inspections are done when they are required to be
done.
ECCN EAR99
5-00-00
9 SEP 2011Rev. 18Page 3
Page 32
BHT-430-MM-2
3.Make sure that the scheduled inspections, the
special inspections, and the required tests for all of the
installed kits are complied with.
4.Make sure all parts and components for which
Historical Service Records are required have
documented traceability to their original installation in
the helicopter.
5.Make sure that all limited life parts that have
completed their published operating limits are
replaced.
6.Make sure that all of the components that have
completed their published overhaul periods are
overhauled.
7.Make sure that all of the maintenance that is
done on the helicopter is done by an approved
maintenance organization.
The maintenance organization/person doing the
maintenance is responsible for the quality of the
maintenance done.
The owner/operator may choose to ask the
maintenance organization/person doing the
maintenance to perform the tasks listed by prior
arrangement through a separate formal agreement.
5-3.CRASH DAMAGE
Because of the many possible combinations that can
result from crash damage, it is not possible to include
the specified repair schemes in this category. The
helicopter mechanic must make an analysis of the
crash damage for each situation. Do the repairs in
accordance with the degree of damage to the specific
part and the applicable repair instructions in this
manual. Call Bell Helicopter Textron Product Support
Engineering with your analysis of the crash damage.
5-4.TYPES OF INSPECTIONS
1.The maintenance procedures may include
scheduled inspections, special inspections, conditional
inspections, component interim inspections, and
component overhaul inspections.
a. Scheduled inspections must occur at specified
operating intervals. The intervals may be in operating
time (hours), cycles, torque events (R.I.N.), calendar
(days, months, years) or other assigned units. This
makes sure that the helicopter is airworthy.
b. Special inspections are of a temporary nature
or of a special interval not consistent with the
scheduled inspections.
c. Conditional inspections do not occur at a
specified time. They are based on known or suspected
unusual events, known or suspected malfunctions or
defects.
d. An interim inspection occurs between
overhauls.
e. The component overhaul schedule gives the
elapsed operating time at which a component must be
removed, disassembled, examined for condition, and
overhauled in accordance with data approved by Bell
Helicopter Textron.
2.Lubrication and service requirements are in
addition to those stated in this chapter (Chapter 12).
3.For corrosion control, refer to the Corrosion
Control Guide (CSSD-PSE-87-001) and the
BHT-ALL-SPM.
4.For the 250-C40B engine, refer to the
Rolls-Royce Operations and Maintenance Manual for
the scheduled inspection, special inspection,
conditional inspection, and component overhaul
schedule.
5.For the common Bell Helicopter Textron approved
optional equipment that is integrated into this
maintenance manual, refer to this chapter for the
scheduled inspection, conditional inspection,
component interim inspection, and component
overhaul inspection.
6.For all other Bell Helicopter Textron approved
equipment, refer to the applicable Supplement in
Chapter 99 of this manual for the scheduled
inspection, special inspection, conditional inspection,
component interim inspection, and component
overhaul inspection.

SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS
BHT-430-MM-2
5-7.SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS
Scheduled inspections include airframe and
component inspections. The scheduled airframe
inspection intervals are based on the airframe
operating time. The scheduled component inspection
intervals are based on the component operating time.
5-8.SCHEDULED AIRFRAME INSPECTIONS
Bell Helicopter Textron developed two scheduled
airframe inspection programs to give flexibility for
maximum helicopter use. An operator can choose one
of the Bell programs or design their own program. The
selection of an alternative inspection program and its
approval by the governing civil aviation authority is the
responsibility of the owner/operator.
5-9.Airframe Periodic
Do the inspections at intervals of 50 hours, 150 hours
and 600 hours. You must do a minimum of one
complete 50 hour, 150 hour and 600 hour inspection
within 12 months.

5-10.Airframe Progressive
The requirements of the airframe periodic 50 hour, 150
hour and 600 hour inspections are combined in 12
separate events of similar workload, and are done at
50 hour intervals. You must do the events in the
sequence shown in Ta b le 5 -1 . After you complete
event 12, the progressive cycle begins again with
event 1. You must do a minimum of one complete
cycle (12 events) within 12 months.
5-11.Inspection Program Selection
You must establish the airframe periodic or the
airframe progressive program to maintain the
helicopter from new. To change between the periodic
and progressive programs you must first do the 50
hour, 150 hour and 600 hour inspections. The owner/
operator is responsible to not exceed the time interval
of any scheduled airframe inspection procedure.

Scheduled component inspections have been
established for those items to be inspected at intervals
other than those established for aircraft periodic
inspections. Do the scheduled component inspections
at every interval that follows.
To be performed every 50 hours of operating time or a minimum
of once every 12 months, whichever comes first.

NOTE
It is recommended to interrogate the IIDS
maintenance pages on both IIDS screens and the
engines ECU on a weekly basis (mandatory at 50
hour inspection) for any recorded fault codes or
exceedances.
2.Interrogate the Integrated Instrument Display System
(IIDS) for any maintenance advisory flag, fault codes or
exceedance occurrences and do the necessary corrective
action. Also interrogate the ECU of both engines using
EMC-35A (MT 35) program for any FADEC fault code or
exceedances. Following maintenance action, clear ALL
recorded fault codes and any exceedances that is not
cumulative from both IIDS screens and from the engines ECU
to prevent any future confusion. Logged exceedances not
requiring maintenance action should also be cleared from IIDS
and ECU(s).
