Turbomeca S.A. Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Turboshaft Engines

Turbomeca S.A. is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain turboshaft engines due to concerns over the reliability of the engine's tachometer unit cycle counting feature. The proposed directive aims to prevent uncontained engine failure and damage to helicopters by requiring daily post-flight checks and ground-run functional checks.
