4. Summary of the Problem.

a. The Swashplate Link, P/N 70400-08110-054 or 70400-0110-061, manufactured by TEK Precision Corporation

(Cage Code 65780 completed the required engineering testing of this Flight Safety Part in 1997. Initial analysis of the test

results and post test material analysis indicated that the part did not conform to the process specifications of the original

manufactured component. Based on this analysis, the decision was made to remove the parts from stock and service.

ASAMS UH-60-98-ASAM-03 and UH-60-98-ASAM-05 were published. Subsequent analysis by a third party revealed that

the part were actually in conformance with the process specifications and that removing these parts from service and

demilitarizing is not necessary. This Technical Bulletin is to stop any further removal and demilitarization of the paragraph

7 parts. These parts are fully qualified with no limitation on life.

b. For manpower/downtime and funding impacts, see paragraph 12.

c. The purpose of this Technical Bulletin is to stop any further effort under UH-60-98-ASAM-03 and UH-60-98-

ASAM-05 and return the paragraph 7 parts to original condition code and full service as appropriate.
