Background Background
The FAA issued the Requirement Document in response to in-flight failures of yokes installed on civilian and military helicopters of similar type design, including three reported accidents. The actions specified by this Directive are intended to detect static or dynamic overload on the yoke due to external bending forces, which could result in failure of the yoke, loss of the tail rotor, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
