AD: Eurocopter France Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2013-03-02

PRODUCT: Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model EC 155B, EC155B1, SA-365N1, AS-365N2 and AS 365 N3 helicopters.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-03-02
ACTION: Final Rule, Request for Comments

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD currently requires inspecting certain tail rotor hubs (TRH) for a crack and removing any cracked TRH. This AD requires the same actions but adds more part numbers to the list of affected TRHs.

This AD is prompted by further analysis that indicates that additional part-numbered TRHs must be inspected for cracks. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect a crack in the TRH and prevent the tail rotor from jamming, which could lead to reduced or loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 27, 2013. Comments on this AD must be received by April 15, 2013.

FMI: AD
