Airbus H160-B helicopters must now check for a specific bearing failure

The US aviation regulator is ordering inspections for a specific helicopter model. All Airbus H160-B helicopters must now check for excessive wear in a critical part of their rotor system.

This is a small, routine safety update for a specific helicopter model. It means operators of these helicopters must add a new inspection to their maintenance schedule. If the part is worn, they must fix it.
