Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21756 · Passenger compartment doors
Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW119 MKII helicopters, certificated in any category, with serial number 14831, 14834, 14838, 14840, 14841, 14842, 14843, 14844, 14901, 14904, 14905, 14906, or 14918.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain serial-numbered Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by the discovery that the passenger cabin windows (windows) on a batch of helicopters were improperly installed during production. This AD requires removing and reinstalling the windows. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 100 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, replace the left-hand and right-hand windows by following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 2. and 3., of Leonardo Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No. 119-094, dated November 15, 2018 (ASB119-094), except where ASB 119-094 specifies to discard the seal filler and gasket, remove those parts from service.
