AD: Eurocopter France Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2013-04-06

PRODUCT: Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model AS332C, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-04-06
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires modifying the main landing gear control panel (control panel) 33G, connector 100G, and wiring. It also requires tests to ensure that these modifications function correctly. This AD was prompted by reports of electro-valve power supply disruptions while a helicopter is on the ground, causing the landing gear to retract and the helicopter nose to drop. This results in damage to the forward section of the helicopter's bottom structure.

The actions of this AD are intended to prevent an uncommanded landing gear retraction that would cause the helicopter nose to drop and hit the ground while the rotor blades are spinning.

DATES: This AD is effective April 15, 2013.
