AD: Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2014-02-09

PRODUCT: Eurocopter Model EC225LP and AS332L1 helicopters with emergency floatation gear.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2014-02-09
ACTION: Final Rule, Request for Comments

SUMMARY: The AD requires, before the next overwater flight, inspecting the strap installation on the hinged rods of the emergency flotation gear on both rear cradles for correct installation.

If a strap is installed under the hinged rod median plate rather than over it, reinstalling the strap is required. The AD is prompted by incorrect routing of the straps on the hinged rods of the emergency flotation gear rear cradles.

The actions are intended to detect incorrect strap installation and prevent failure of the rods or straps upon deployment of the emergency flotation gear, incorrect float position, and subsequent capsizing of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 24, 2014. Comments must be received by April 8, 2014.
