SW-10-43 – Rotorcraft/ All/ All Models
Various government agencies, emergency medical services (EMS), electronic news gathering (ENG), and other special service operators have a valid need for non-aviation, multi-band mission radios to be installed in rotorcraft. These non-aviation radios may be capable of transmitting directly on radio frequencies reserved for aviation. In all instances, these non-aviation radios are capable of generating harmonics while transmitting that creates interference with and adversely affects the operation of required communication, navigation, and surveillance equipment in the rotorcraft. This interference may cause the loss of a function or introduce misleading information to the flight crew. 14 CFR 29.1431 addresses interference to required radios on all Part 29, as well as Part 27 IFR rotorcraft. 14 CFR 27/29.1309 addresses required systems functioning under any foreseeable operating condition for VFR normal category rotorcraft. Hence the interference caused by non-aviation radios to required systems is a foreseeable operating condition and needs to be addressed in all installations.

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin advises you of an airworthiness concern regarding potential unannunciated failures of the MK XXII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EPGWS) aural alerting function. At this time, the airworthiness concern is not an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness directive (AD) action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR) part 39.

SAIB No. SW-10-15 was issued February 5, 2010 to owners, operators, and modifiers of the Bell Model 429 helicopter to advise them that any modification to incorporate the clam shell doors as passenger exits would need additional FAA evaluation and approval as the clam shell doors at initial type certification were not approved as passenger exits but were approved as baggage access doors only.
Since that time, Bell Helicopter has successfully demonstrated that this baggage area access can be used for loading and unloading of cargo or occupants safely.
