AD: Agusta

AD NUMBER: 2008-09-03
MANUFACTURER: Agusta
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-09-03
SUMMARY:
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) model helicopters.

This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product.

 The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Technical Agent for Italy, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in the MCAI: It has been reported, on an A109A helicopter,a case of failure of the grooved clamp fixing the engine exhaust duct, with the consequent loss of the duct.

The duct has hit the main and tail rotor producing the loss of the tail rotor and the emergency landing of the helicopter. The fracture of the grooved clamp was due to excessive loads and corrosion around the attaching rivets.

This AD requires actions that are intended to address this unsafe condition.
