Abstract
A protective boot for a helicopter blade pitch link assembly as described herein includes a split joint that allows for easy removal and replacement of the protective boot. The protective boot is less expensive to replace, requires less manpower, and eliminates the need for post-maintenance test flights, which might otherwise be necessary to confirm proper alignment and installation of the pitch link assemblies.
