Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23435 · Airbus Helicopters Helicopters
Airbus Helicopters Helicopters
This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters AS350B2.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B2 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of magnetization on the solenoid valves for the three main servo-controls, the regulator block, and the tail servo- control due to a diode not properly installed in the hydraulic circuit. This AD requires performing a cut-off test of the rear rotor actuator valve and, depending on the results of the test, performing corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
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.
