NOTES:
(1) Life−limited components interchanged between models or configurations must be restricted to the lowest
service life indicated for the models or configurations affected. Life−limited components removed at
retirement are to be mutilated/destroyed or conspicuously marked to prevent inadvertent return to service.
Parts are applicable only on models under which a service life is listed.
Life−limited components cannot be altered or permanently marked in any manner without compromising
the part integrity. Part tagging or other record keeping system is required.
Related component records must be updated each time component is removed from service.
(2) Service life shown for the basic (no dash number) part numbers apply to all dash numbered versions
unless otherwise indicated.

the −513 and −515 blades are interchangeable. The −505 and −509 configuration blades may be modified
to the −513M configuration, which is fully compatible with the −513 blade. (For information concerning
modification, contact MDHI Customer Service Department.)
(6) For the 369D/E helicopters, the 369D21120−501, −503 main rotor blade has all the same inspections and
interchangeability as the 369D21100−517 main rotor blade.
For the 369F/FF − 500N helicopters, the 369D21121−501, −503 main rotor blade has all the same
inspections and interchangeability as the 369D21102−517 main rotor blade.

(8) Inspect main rotor drive shaft every 300 hours (Ref. Sec. 63−10−00, Main Rotor Drive Shaft Inspection
(300 Hour)) (Reference AD 81−26−01 R1).
(9) Failsafe device, P/N 369D25530 bolt and 369D25531 socket, must be used at both ends of tail rotor
driveshaft in accordance with Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Installation with Bendix Couplings (Reference AD
86−20−07).
(10) For helicopters equipped with a cargo hook, inspect overrunning clutch sprag assembly P/N 369D25351,
clutch inner race P/N 369A5353 and outer race 369A5352 every 300 hours (Ref. C.O.M., Sec. 63−10−10,
Overrunning Clutch Sprag Inspection (300 Hour)). To establish time in service, either clutch total time with
hook attached or a separate and permanent log of external load operating time per CFR 91.417, may be
used.
(For 369D/E/F/FF helicopters with 369A5364 or 369D25351 sprag assembly, Refer to AD 90−19−02.)
(11) Inspect main rotor blade root fittings and main rotor lead−lag link assemblies every 25 hours in accordance
with Main Rotor Blade Upper and Lower Root Fitting Attach Lug and Lead−Lag Link Attach Lug Inspection
(25 Hour) and every 100 hours in accordance with Main Rotor Blade Upper and Lower Root, Fitting Attach
Lug and Lead−Lag Link Attach Lug Inspection (100 Hour) (Ref. Sec. 62−10−00) (Reference AD
95−03−13).
(12) Tip plates, tip weights (where applicable) and attaching hardware have no retirement life and may be
reused on replacement horizontal stabilizers.
(13) 421−087−903 and −905 require the addition of tip plates, tip weights and attaching hardware before
installation.
(14) Inspect the three upper slot bridges for cracks (Ref. Sec. 05−20−00).
(15) Inspect main rotor drive shaft every 300 hours (Ref. Sec. 63−10−00, Main Rotor Drive Shaft Inspection
(300 Hour)).
(16) Inspect for deterioration every 600 hours up to a total time of 4200 hours and every 300 hours thereafter
until deterioration is sufficient to retire assembly
369D/E/FF − 500N: (Ref. Sec. 62−20−00, Main Rotor Damper and Attachments Inspection)
600N: (Ref. Sec. 62−20−60, Main Rotor Damper and Attachments Inspection).

(17) For helicopters equipped with a cargo hook, inspect overrunning clutch sprag assembly P/N 369F5456,
clutch inner race P/N 369F5455 and outer race 369F5453 every 300 hours. To establish time in service,
either clutch total time with hook attached or a separate and permanent log of external load operating time
may be used.
(18) 500N7113−11 tube assembly, fan pitch is an On−Condition part and replaces the 500N7113−3 tube
assembly.

62−10−00)
(For 369D/E/F/FF — 500N helicopters, Reference AD 96−10−09).
(21) Main rotor blades, P/N 369D21102−517 with S/N 1976 thru 2100, 2106 thru 2115 are not to be installed on
600N helicopter (Reference Service Bulletin SB600N−007R2) (Reference AD 98−15−26).
(22) Inspect main rotor blades with 600 or more hours of operation every 25 hours of helicopter operation with a
10X magnifying glass for cracking of the lower surface of the blade emanating from the root fitting and
doubler at the inboard end of the blade and to detect debonding between the blade root end fitting and
doubler if missing or cracked adhesive or paint is observed. (Reference Service Bulletins SB369D−195R3,
SB369E−088R3, SB369F−075R3, SB500N−015R3) (Reference AD 98−15−26).

Link Assembly. (Reference AD 95−03−13).
(24) Inspect clutch retainer and bearing carrier for evidence of spinning and/or wear (Ref. Sec. 05−20−20).
(25) The 600N3500−503 tailboom may be reworked to a 600N3500−505 tailboom, and the 600N3500−513
tailboom may be reworked to a 600N3500−515 tailboom by modifying the attachment fittings to all−steel

P/N 369D21102−517 with S/N 1976 thru 2100, 2106 thru 2115.
* TORQUE EVENT (TE) — A TE is recorded for every transition from forward flight to a hover (Reference
Service Bulletins SB369D−195R3, SB369E−088R3, SB369F−075R3, SB500N−015R3). (Reference AD

(37) After accumulation of 750 flight hours and 13,720 TE, perform Main Rotor Blade Torque Event Inspection
(Ref. Sec. 62−10−00) every 35 flight hours or 200 TE’s (whichever occurs first).
(38) The 369D21640−501, −503, −505, −507 tail rotor blades are two−way interchangeable with the 369D21613
tail rotor blades in sets of two only.
The 369D21641−501, −503, −505, −507 tail rotor blades are two−way interchangeable with the 369D21615
tail rotor blades in sets of two only (installed on the same inboard or outboard hub).
The 369D21642−501, −503, −505, −507 tail rotor blades are two−way interchangeable with the 369D21606
tail rotor blades in sets of two only.
(39) The 369H1203−BSC, −11, −21, −31, −51 and −61 lead lag link assemblies can only be installed using the
369H1235−BSC bearing.
(40) The 369H1203−53 lead lag link assembly can only be installed using the 369H1235−1 bearing.
(41) The 369N2608−11 Control Support Bracket must be removed from 600N helicopters equipped with YSAS
(Ref. SB600N−040).
(42) RIN = (29 x Hrs.) + (1 x TE).
(43) The tension−torsion straps have a 5−year calendar life that starts the day the package is opened (Ref.
Sect 64−25−30). If the date the package was opened is unknown, the 5−year calendar life is based on the
manufacturing cure date.
For straps installed before 06 March 2008 on Model 500N helicopters serial numbers LN−001 thru LN−105
and Model 600N helicopters serial numbers RN003 thru RN074, the initial calendar replacement is based
on the cure date on the strap. Refer to Table 2 to find the expiration date.
(44) 500N5311−5 straps previously installed on MD900 helicopters are life limited to 2,500 hours when installed
on 500N and 600N series helicopters.
(45) Use only on 600N helicopters without a yaw stability augmentation system (YSAS) (Pre−TB600N−006R1).
(46) Life−limited hours changed from 4500 to 400 (Reference AD 2013−19−24).
(47) Life−limited hours is only for helicopters with a yaw stability augmentation system (YSAS).
