{"abstract":"The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bell Textron Canada Limited Model 206, 206A, 206A-1 (OH-58A), 206B, 206B-1, 206L, 206L-1, 206L-3, 206L-4, 222, 222B, 222U, 230, 407, 427, 429, and 430 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of a shoulder harness seat belt comfort clip (comfort clip) interfering with the seat belt inertia reel. This AD requires removing each comfort clip from service, inspecting the shoulder harness seat belt for any rip and abrasion, and removing any shoulder harness seat belt from service that has a rip or abrasion. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2021/09/08/2021-19244.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"39","title":14}],"citation":"86 FR 50232","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This AD is effective October 13, 2021.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FAA-2021-0539","Project Identifier 2018-SW-048-AD","Amendment 39-21719","AD 2021-19-01"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2021-19244","effective_on":"2021-10-13","end_page":50234,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2021/09/08/2021-19244.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/09/08/2021-19244/airworthiness-directives-bell-textron-canada-limited-helicopters","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2021-19244?publication_date=2021-09-08","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2021-09-08/2021-19244/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":518,"last_updated":"2026-08-25 04:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-09-08/pdf/2021-19244.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2021-19244.pdf?1631018722","publication_date":"2021-09-08","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2021/09/08/2021-19244.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AA64":{"issue":"202504","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202504&RIN=2120-AA64&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AA64"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Supporting AD Document","document_id":"FAA-2021-0539-0002"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives"},"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2021-0539","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"FAA-2021-0539","document_id":"FAA-2021-0539-0003","regulation_id_number":"2120-AA64","title":"Bell various models seat belt comfort clip, 2018-SW-048-AD","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2021-09-09T03:30:12Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":50232,"subtype":null,"title":"Airworthiness Directives; Bell Textron Canada Limited Helicopters","toc_doc":"Bell Textron Canada Limited Helicopters","toc_subject":"Airworthiness Directives:\n","topics":["Air transportation","Aircraft","Aviation safety","Incorporation by reference","Safety"],"type":"Rule","volume":86}
