🚁Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS 332L2 and EC 225LP helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of overlengthened and deformed attachment bolts installed on the link of the main gearbox (MGB) suspension bar attachment bracket. This proposed AD would require replacing certain attachment bolts on the MGB suspension bar fittings, inspecting the removed bolts, and reporting the results of this inspection to Airbus Helicopters. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
