FAA Proposes to Update Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters SA 330 F, G, and J Helicopters

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France (now Airbus Helicopters) Model SA 330 F, G, and J helicopters, which requires adjustments to the main gearbox flexible coupling bolts to address an unsafe condition. The proposed update would retain the existing requirements but revise the applicability to exclude certain helicopters and overhaul procedures.
