EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 20200281, dated December 16, 2020 EASA AD
20200281, to correct an unsafe condition for certain serial-numbered Airbus Helicopters AH, formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale Model AS 332 L2 and EC
225 LP helicopters.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain serial-numbered Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 and EC225LP helicopters. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2021 86 FR 47420. The NPRM was prompted by a design deficiency involving the incorrect wiring routing of the electrical hoist

installation. The affected wiring was not protected by the circuit breaker that was intended to provide electrical protection for that wiring. The NPRM proposed to require modifying the hoist control power supply, as specified in EASA AD
20200281.
The FAA is issuing this AD to correct the electrical hoist installation wiring routing. See EASA AD 20200281 for additional background information.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed.
