Eurocopter France Model Helicopters: Airworthiness Directive Amendment

Summary

The Federal Register has published an amendment to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2001-19-51, which requires U.S. owners and operators of Eurocopter France Model SA341G, SA342J, and SA-360C helicopters to replace a faulty main rotor head torsion tie bar with an airworthy one before further flight. The directive aims to prevent tie bar failure, loss of a main rotor blade, and loss of helicopter control.
