AD: Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (ECD) Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2013-16-20

PRODUCT: ECD Model MBB-BK 117 C-2 helicopters.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-16-20
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires inspecting the rigging of the power-boosted control system and, if there is a nonparallel gap between the rigging wedges and the inner sleeves, performing a rigging procedure. This AD was prompted by the discovery, during rigging of the main rotor controls, of movement of the longitudinal main rotor actuator piston after shut-down of the external pump drive. Such movement could cause incorrect rigging results.

The actions of this AD are intended to prevent incorrect rigging results, which could impair freedom of movement of the upper controls and subsequent reduced control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective September 27, 2013.
