Airbus Helicopters Issues Superseding Airworthiness Directive for EC120B Helicopters

Summary

Airbus Helicopters is issuing a superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the EC120B helicopter, which requires amending the rotorcraft flight manual supplement and pre-flight checks on emergency flotation gear before flights over water. The new directive retains previous requirements, expands applicability, and adds a terminating action for repetitive inspections.
