Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model SA 330F, G, and J Helicopters

摘要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Eurocopter France Model SA 330F, G, and J helicopters, that requires removing and replacing each tail rotor electrical bonding braid (bonding braid). This amendment is prompted by an in-service report of the failure of a bonding braid. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of a bonding braid due to fatigue, resulting impact with the tail rotor blades, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
