The Aeronautical Accessories High Skid Landing Gear for the Bell 505 aircraft has successfully completed an extensive Fatigue Testing program and has extended the fatigue life of the skid gear components.

The High Gear Forward Crosstube Assembly has extended the life limit to 44,800 RIN which is an increase of 22,800 RIN over the Standard Gear FWD Crosstube Assembly. The High Gear AFT Crosstube Assembly has extended the life limit to 11,200 RIN which is an increase of 4,700 RIN over the Standard Gear AFT Crosstube Assembly.

The life limits of the High Gear Skid Tube Assemblies have been extended to an Unlimited Fatigue Life which exceeds the life limit of 6500 RIN for the Standard Gear Skid Tube Assemblies. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (AA-17062) has been updated to reflect the new life limits.
