AD: Leonardo S.p.A. Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2019-18-02

PRODUCT: Certain Leonardo S.p.A. (Leonardo) Model AW169 helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY:  This AD requires replacing the seals, filler wedges, and handles of each emergency exit window.

This AD was prompted by a report that a high level of pushing force was required to jettison some windows.

DATES: This AD is effective October 16, 2019.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1 helicopter of U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 a work-hour. Operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:

The FAA expects that 24 work-hours are needed to replace the decal, seal, filler wedges, and handle of each emergency exit window installed in cockpit doors and the cabin. Parts cost $1,500 for a total cost of $3,540 for this helicopter.

According to Leonardo's service information some of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage by Leonardo. Accordingly, the FAA has included all costs in this cost estimate
