AD: Airbus Helicopters (Previously Eurocopter France)

AD NUMBER: 2015-02-27

PRODUCT: Certain Eurocopter France Model AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, AS332L2, and EC225LP helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule; Request for Comments

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-19-19 for the products listed above.

AD 2013-19-19 required replacing certain serial-numbered main gearbox (MGB) bevel gear vertical shafts and inspecting and replacing, if necessary, each MGB bevel gear vertical shaft (shaft).

This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2013-19-19 but corrects an error in the term used to identify an inspection qualification and updates the type certificate holder's name. This AD is prompted by two incidents of emergency ditching after warning indications of loss of MGB oil pressure.

These actions are intended to detect a cracked shaft, which could result in loss of MGB oil pressure, loss of the MGB lubrication system, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective February 17, 2015. Comments must be received by  April 3, 2015.

FMI: AD
