How a Service Bulletin is born…

A good example of how a mechanical failure leads to a manufacturer’s Service Bulletin (SB) being issued:

Accident: NTSB Accident report Summary

Which leads to…

Service Bulletin: Robinson R44 Service Bulletin SB-86 – Rotor RPM Sender Magnets

Side note – good job on the safe landing!

Service Bulletin’s are not mandatory* – that would be a FAA Airworthiness Directive, which often evolve from SBs.
