AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Repetitively inspect pilot cyclic stick base part number (P/N) G41-42-801 and co-pilot cyclic stick base P/Ns G41-43-801 and G41-43-802 for a crack. Depending on the results, contact HG [Hélicoptères Guimbal] for approved instructions to replace a cracked cyclic stick base and accomplish those instructions accordingly. Alternatively, remove the dual control (co-pilot cyclic stick) instead of replacing a cracked co-pilot cyclic stick base. Prohibit installing a specified pilot or co-pilot cyclic stick base unless it is a new (never installed before) part or, before installation, has passed its required inspection.
