Eurocopter France Helicopters Adopts New Airworthiness Directive for AS350 and AS355 Helicopters

Eurocopter France Helicopters is issuing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for its AS350 and AS355 helicopters, requiring inspections for a potential crack in the control lever attachment yokes and potential replacement of the tail rotor gearbox. The directive follows improper casting of the TGB casing assemblies, which may lead to cracking and loss of control of the helicopter.
