Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21788 · Cabin equipment/furnishings
Airbus Helicopters
This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 and EC225LP helicopters, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0281, dated December 16, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0281).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 and EC225LP helicopters. This AD was prompted by a design deficiency. This AD requires modifying the hoist control power supply, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2020-0281.
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0281 requires compliance within 30 days after its effective date, this AD requires compliance within 30 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD.
(2) This AD does not require the “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0281.
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2020-0281 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
