ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Parts cost
7.5 work-hours $85 per hour = $637.50

Up to $78,154

According to Zodiac Aerospace, some or all of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected operators.
As a result, the FAA has included all known costs in the cost estimate.

The Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES

Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAAs authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII:
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agencys authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA
with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce.
This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Amended
2. The FAA amends 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive:

20211110 Airbus Helicopters:
Amendment 3921572; Docket No.
FAA20210188; Project Identifier MCAI202000642R.
a Effective Date This airworthiness directive AD is effective August 27, 2021.
b Affected ADs None.
c Applicability This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Model SA365N, SA365N1, AS365N2, and AS 365 N3 helicopters, certificated in any category, as identified in European Aviation Safety Agency now European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD 2016
0028, dated February 15, 2016 EASA AD
20160028.
d Subject Joint Aircraft System Component JASC
Code 2564, Life Raft.
e Reason This AD was prompted by a report that damage scorch marks was found on an internal life raft installation that contained a half rescue kit. Investigation revealed that the damage was caused by an unsuitable folding process for the life raft, which led to compression of the flashlight battery in the half rescue kit. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address leakage of the flashlight battery in a half rescue kit, which could result in damage to the internal life raft, and subsequent failure of the internal life raft to deploy for example after a ditching, which could impede or prevent safe evacuation of the occupants from the helicopter.
