AD: Agusta S.p.A. Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2015-05-05

PRODUCT: Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109S, AW109SP, A119, and AW119 MKII helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-04-14 for the product listed above.

AD 2014-04-14 required removing certain rod end assemblies from service because of reports of fractures.

This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2014-04-14 but expands the scope of applicable rod end assemblies. This AD was prompted by reports of additional fractured rod end assemblies.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of a rod end assembly, which could result in damage to the main rotor assembly and loss of control of the helicopter.

FMI: AD
