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. Seller’s sole obligation under this
warranty is limited to replacement or repair of parts which are determined to Seller’s 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 Seller’s Warranty
Administration within 90 days of being found defective. Replacement of parts may be with either new or reconditioned parts, at Seller’s
election. Warranty adjustment is contingent upon the Purchaser complying with the Warranty Remedies as described in the
Commercial Warranty Information brochure and the Seller’s Warranty Administration disposition instructions for defective parts. Failure
to comply with all of the terms of this paragraph may, at Seller’s 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 Seller’s 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 warranty is the only warranty made by Seller. The Purchaser’s sole remedy for a breach of this warranty or any defect in a part is
the repair or replacement of helicopter parts and reimbursement of reasonable freight charges as provided herein. Seller excludes
liability, whether as a result of a breach of contract or warranty, negligence or strict product liability, for incidental or consequential
damages, including without limitation, damage to the helicopter or other property, costs and expenses resulting from required changes
or modifications to helicopter components and assemblies, changes in retirement lives and overhaul periods, local customs fees and
taxes, and costs or expenses for commercial losses or lost profits due to loss of use or grounding of helicopters or otherwise.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability in contract or in tort (delict), including, without limitation, negligence and strict tort
(delictual) liability, with respect to work performed by third parties at Purchaser’s request and with respect to engines, engine
accessories, batteries, radios, and avionics, except Seller assigns each manufacturer’s warranty to Purchaser to the extent such
manufacturer’s warranty exists and is assignable.
This warranty shall not apply to any helicopter part which has been repaired or altered outside Seller ’s factory in any way so as, in
Seller’s judgment, to affect its stability, safety or reliability, or which has been subject to misuse, negligence or accident, or which has
been installed in any aircraft which has been destroyed unless that helicopter has been rebuilt by Bell. A list of destroyed aircraft is
obtainable from Bell Product Support. Repairs and alterations which use or incorporate parts and components other than genuine Bell
parts or parts approved by Bell for direct acquisition from sources other than Bell itself are not warranted by Bell, and this warranty shall
be void to the extent that such repairs and alterations, in Seller’s sole judgment, affect the stability, safety or reliability of the helicopter
or any part thereof, or damage genuine Bell or Bell-approved parts. No person, corporation or organization, including Bell Customer
Service Facilities, is authorized by Seller to assume for it any other liability in connection with the sale of its helicopters and parts.
NO STATEMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE BY ANY PERSON, CORPORATION OR ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING
BELL CUSTOMER SERVICE FACILITIES MAY BE TAKEN AS A WARRANTY NOR WILL IT BIND SELLER.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability with respect to components or parts damaged by, or worn due to, corrosion. Seller
makes no warranty and disclaims all liability for consumables (wear items) which are defined as items required for normal and routine
maintenance or replaced at scheduled intervals shorter than the warranty period. “Consumables” include but are not limited to engine
and hydraulic oil, oil filters, packings and o-rings, anti-corrosion and/or sealing compounds, brush plating material, nuts, bolts, washers,
screws, fluids, compounds, and standard aircraft hardware that is readily available to aircraft operators from sources other than Seller.
All legal actions based upon claims or disputes pertaining to or involving this warranty including, but not limited to, Seller’s denial of any
claim or portion thereof under this warranty, must be filed in the courts of general jurisdiction of Tarrant County, Texas or in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Ft. Worth Division located in Ft. Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. In the event that
Purchaser files such an action in either of the court systems identified above, and a final judgment in Seller’s favor is rendered by such
court, then Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller in defense of such claims. In
the event Purchaser files such a legal action in a court other than those specified, and Seller successfully obtains dismissal of that
action or transfer thereof to the above described court systems, then Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for all costs, expenses and
attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller in obtaining such dismissal or transfer.
The Airworthiness Limitations Schedule is approved by the Minister and specifies the maintenance required by
any applicable airworthiness or operational rules unless an alternative program has been approved by the
Minister.

Each component with a retirement life sensitive to torque events will be assigned a maximum Retirement
Index Number (RIN). This RIN corresponds to maximum allowed fatigue damage resulting from lifts and
takeoffs. A torque event is defined as a takeoff (one takeoff plus subsequent landing = one RIN) or a lift
(internal or external). For example, if an operator performs six takeoffs and 10 slingloads, this would total
16 torque events; (6 takeoffs = 6 events, 10 slingloads = 10 events, 6 + 10 = 16 torque events total).
Pilots are to record total number of torque events for each flight. This allows maintenance personnel to
convert torque events to RIN by applying the appropriate RIN adjustment factor. Refer to ASB 206L-94-99
Rev. B, dated 10 August 2001. A new component will begin with an accumulated RIN of zero, that will be
increased as lifts and takeoffs are performed. Operator will record number of lifts and takeoffs (torque
events), and increase accumulated RIN accordingly. When maximum RIN is reached or retirement flight
hours, whichever occurs first, component will be removed from service.
The retirement life of trunnion 206-011-120-103/-105 is based solely on RIN. Retire trunnion when
RIN = 24,000. For each takeoff/lift, add one RIN if the trunnion is installed on 206L, 206L1, or 206L3
(includes 206L3 with Increased Power Operation kit installed per BHT-206-SI-2039) and two RIN if the
trunnion is installed on a 206L4 (also applicable to 206L3+ helicopters (Increased Gross Weight Upgrade

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 is responsible for increasing the
scope and the frequency of the inspections as
necessary. Make sure the helicopter is maintained
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.
Helicopter Textron or an approved Airworthiness
Authority.
Changes to the 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 the 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 the
Airworthiness Directives (AD).
Component operating time records are necessary for
components that have scheduled maintenance
procedures, which are different from those of the
airframe. It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to
keep the Historical Service Records for the applicable
component and to do the necessary maintenance
procedures.
Before each inspection, remove or open the
necessary cowlings, fairing, inspection doors, and
panels.
The inspection intervals and the component overhaul
schedule provided in this chapter are applicable only
to Bell Helicopter Textron approved parts.
The time period given for the 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
Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99
5-2.ITEMS NOT COVERED AND
INSPECTION RESPONSIBILITY
This manual does not include the 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 and for
ensuring that the specific time interval of any
inspection procedure is not exceeded. It is the owner/
operator’s responsibility to:
1.Establish, maintain, and review the log books for
discrepancies.
2.Make sure the Alert Service Bulletins (ASB), the
Airworthiness Directives (AD), and the special
5-00-00
15 MAY 2015 Rev. 22Page 3

inspections are done when they are required to be
done.
3.Make sure the scheduled inspections, the special
inspections, and the required inspections 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 all limited life parts that have
completed their published operating limits are
replaced.
6.Make sure all of the components that have
completed their published overhaul periods are
overhauled.
7.Make sure 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
a. Scheduled inspections must occur at specified
operating intervals. The intervals may be in operating
time (hours), cycles, torque events (RIN), 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 that is not consistent with the
scheduled inspections.
c. Conditional inspections do not occur at a
specified time. A conditional inspection is the result of
a known or suspected unusual event, 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 servicing 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-C30 series engine, refer to the
Rolls-Royce Operations and Maintenance Manual
(14W2) for the scheduled inspection, special
inspection, conditional inspection, and component
overhaul schedule.
Because of the many possible combinations that can
result from crash damage, it is not possible to include
the specific repair tasks in this category. The
helicopter mechanic must make an analysis of the
crash damage for each situation. Do the repair in
accordance with the degree of damage to the specific
part and the applicable repair procedures in this
manual. Call Bell Helicopter Textron Product Support
Engineering with your analysis of the crash damage.
5-4.TYPES OF INSPECTIONS
