🚁Airworthiness Directives for Airbus Helicopters
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Summary
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C1 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual (MM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICAs) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
