Superseding AD Issued for R44 Flex Plates and Clutch Yokes

The FAA has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD 2025-11-07) for Robinson R44 and R44 II helicopters, superseding AD 2024-19-11 which required visually inspecting a certain flex plate assembly and certain clutch shaft forward yokes, including each flex plate bolt, and depending on the results, taking corrective actions. This new AD requires the actions of the previous AD but clarifies that the alternative inspections are repetitive and adds a particular paint remover option to use when performing those alternative inspections. 

You can find this AD here; it is effective July 11, 2025.
