WASHINGTON — Federal safety officials are grounding 2,800 Bell helicopters in a search for improperly installed bearings that could cause the co-pilot controls to malfunction. The helicopters are Bell models 407 and 427, and the 206 A, B and L series.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says the agency wants operators to visually inspect a bearing in the co-pilot cyclic controls and replace the part if it was improperly installed.
