BHT-429-MPI The airworthiness lives and inspection intervals given to the components are determined through experience, engineering judgement, fatigue tests, and Lead-The-Fleet (LTF) programs. The airworthiness lives and inspection intervals cannot be changed without the approval of Transport Canada. NOTE It is the responsibility of the pilot to record the events in the helicopter log book. Normal landings, run-on landings, autorotation landings, normal retraction/extension, and emergency gear release of the wheeled landing gear system (if installed) are events that must be recorded separately.
