Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12450 · Agusta S.p.A. Model A109E Helicopters
Agusta S.p.A. Model A109E Helicopters
Model A109E helicopters, up to and including serial number 11099, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109E helicopters that requires modifying the passenger compartment sliding doors by installing certain locking mechanism kits. This amendment is prompted by accidental opening of a passenger compartment sliding door (door) in flight due to a door locking mechanism that is too easy to accidentally open. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent accidental opening of a door in flight and subsequent loss of objects that could damage the rotor system.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
