INSPECTION OF THE COPILOT GAS PRODUCER
CONTROL GEAR SHAFT ASSEMBLY
1. PLANNING INFORMATION
A. Aircraft Affected:
369D, 369E, 369FF, 500N, and 600N helicopters with a left-hand (LH) command
configuration:
369E helicopters, serial numbers (SNs) 0001E thru 0616E with LH command.
369FF helicopters, SNs 0001FF thru 0209FF, 0600FF thru 0602FF, 0700FF thru 0711FF
with LH command.
500N helicopters, SNs LN001 thru LN109 with LH command.
600N helicopters, SNs RN003 thru RN080 with LH command.
NOTE: Ref. SB600N-058R1 for 600N helicopters with right-hand (RH) command.
B. Assemblies / Components / Spares Affected By This Notice:
369A7336-503 / 369A7336A503 Pilot Gas Control Producer Control Gear Shaft Assembly;
and all assemblies in spares inventory.
C. Reason:
Copilot gear shaft assemblies have been found without the required Loctite® R/C #35 on
the shaft and gear, which can cause the spring pins to loosen and fall out.
NOTE: The throttle control of the pilot continues to be operational.
Failure to comply with this bulletin can result in a loss of copilot throttle control and a
precautionary landing.
D. Description:
Procedures in this Bulletin give owners and operators information to do the disassembly,
inspection, and re-assembly to make sure the gear and shaft are correctly assembled.
E. Time of Compliance:
The instructions in this bulletin must be completed at the next 100-hour or annual
inspection.
F. FAA Approval:
The technical design aspects of this bulletin are FAA Approved.

2. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. Checks for Loctite
(Ref. Figure 1)
(1). Do an inspection for the installation of PN 369A7336-501 gear shaft assembly (1):
NOTE: The -501 gear shaft is not installed on Model 600N helicopters. The -501 gear shaft
assembly is not affected by this service bulletin.
(a). As necessary, get access to the center flight controls.
(b). Examine with a strong light and a mirror or a borescope the right-side end of gear
shaft assembly (1) along bellcrank (33) and housing cap (45) for a cotter pin that
holds the shaft and gear together.
1). The cotter pin will be visible inside the shaft.
2). If there is a cotter pin, make an entry in the Rotorcraft Log Book to record the
installation of PN 369A7336-501 gear shaft assembly and return the helicopter
to service.
3). If there is no cotter pin, go to the next step.
(2). Do an inspection for PN 369A7336-503 gear shaft assembly (1):
(a). If installed, hold the collective grip on the right-hand collective pitch stick while
another technician turns the collective grip on the left-hand collective pitch stick.
1). If both pins have fallen out of gear shaft assembly (1), the right-hand collective
grip will not move.
a). If the right-hand collective grip did not move, do procedures 2.B., 2.E., and
2.G. for the 369D, 369E, 369FF, and 500N models, and procedures 2.C., 2.F.,
and 2.G. for the 600N Model.
b). If the right-hand collective grip did move, go to the next step.

NOTE: Use an indelible ink that will visibly contrast with the background color of the gear shaft
assembly.
1). Do a visual inspection at every 100-hour inspection to make sure the slippage
mark has not split.
a). If the slippage mark has split, replace gear shaft assembly (1).
(c). If there is Loctite, go to Procedure 2.G.(6).

(5). Remove collective bungee (3) with ST508 collective bungee installation tool (4) (ref.
CSP-HMI-2, Section 67-10-00, Removal / Installation, Procedure 11.A.).
NOTE: Do not remove overcenter support bracket (5) or bungee support bracket (6) and do not
disassemble collective bungee (3).
CAUTION
Protect collective mixer control rod (13) after it is disconnected from housing (2) to
prevent damage.
(6). Disconnect control rod (13) from housing (2) (ref. CSP-HMI-2, Section 67-10-00,
