FAA Adopts New Airworthiness Directive for Turbomeca Arrius 2F Turboshaft Engines

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive requiring the replacement of certain O-rings on Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2F turboshaft engines to prevent an uncommanded in-flight shutdown, which could lead to a forced autorotation landing and damage to the helicopter, following a report of a Eurocopter EC120B helicopter forced landing.
