EASA AD 20190060 describes procedures for dye penetrant inspecting certain TGB actuating rods for a crack, and depending on the inspection results, replacing the TGB actuating rod.
EASA AD 20190060 also describes procedures for marking each TGB

identifies those service bulletins as Aerospatiale service bulletins.
EASA AD 20190060 specifies the date for AS355 SB No. 67.09 Revision 2, as March 28, 1989; however, this AD identifies the date as October 1989.
Part Marking Clarification Where paragraph 2 of EASA AD
20190060 specifies mark each affected part all rods, regardless of the status with respect to the dye penetrant inspection, this AD requires marking
48903

TGB actuating rods identified in paragraphs c1 through 9 of this AD
regardless of their manufacturing date.
The manufacturing dates in Table 1 of EASA AD 20190060 are used only to indicate the parts on which the dye penetrant inspection specified in paragraph 1 of EASA AD 20190060 is done; the manufacturing dates do not impact the parts on which the marking specified in paragraph 2 of EASA AD
2019006 must be done.
Interim Action The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.
Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 950 helicopters of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Cost on U.S.
operators
6 work-hours $85 per hour = $510

$510

$484,500

Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 hour per product to comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA

estimates the cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be $80,750, or $85 per product.
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-condition
actions that would be required based on the results of any required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of helicopters that might need these on-condition actions:

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Up to 16 work-hours $85 per hour = $1,360

$2,590
