AD: MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2016-05-09

PRODUCT: Certain MDHI Model 369A (Army OH-6A), 369H, 369HE, 369HM, 369HS, 369D, 369E, 369F, 369FF, and 500N helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires inspecting the auxiliary fuel pump (fuel pump) wire routing in the left-hand fuel cell and corrective action, if necessary.

This AD also requires installing a warning decal on the lefthand fuel cell access cover.

This AD was prompted by accidents resulting from incorrectly positioned fuel pump wiring within the fuel tank interfering with the operation of the fuel quantity sensor float, which caused an erroneous fuel quantity indication in the cockpit.

The actions are intended to detect and correct routing of the fuel pump wiring to prevent interference with the fuel quantity sensor float, an erroneous fuel quantity indication in the cockpit, and subsequent fuel exhaustion and emergency landing.

DATES: This AD is effective April 15, 2016

FMI: AD
