🚁FAA Withdraws Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Safran Engines
The FAA is withdrawing an NPRM that proposed to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would have applied to all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) Model ARRIUS 2F and ARRIUS 2R engines. The NPRM was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed certain high-pressure (HP) turbine blades may contain non- compliant porosity rates due to a change in the manufacturing process. The NPRM would have required replacement of affected HP turbine blades. Since the NPRM was issued, further investigation and tests demonstrated that the non-compliant rate of porosity has no impact on the use limit of the affected parts and the FAA has determined that the unsafe condition no longer exists. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109C, A109E, A109S, and AW109SP helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of a quality escape on a batch of main rotor blades (MRBs). This AD requires repetitively tap inspecting certain MRBs and replacing those MRBs. This AD also prohibits installing those MRBs, 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.
