Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD
EASA AD 20200256 specifies to accomplish corrective actions if any crack is detected in an affected area
during a required inspection. Figure 1 of the service information referenced in EASA AD 20200256 depicts the affected area, but the FWD bulkhead is mislabeled as AFT. This AD includes an exception to clarify the correct location of the FWD bulkhead depicted in Figure 1.
Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 70 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD.

The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators.
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
