Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
Helicopters Federal Aviation Administration FAA, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive AD for certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
Model EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports that certain aft and forward fitting assemblies, which are not approved for installation on certain helicopters, were installed on those helicopters as part of the outboard load system. Operators of those helicopters might not be aware of the applicable overhaul or life limits for those fitting assemblies. This AD requires inspecting the aft and forward fitting assemblies of the outboard load system to determine the part number, re-identifying the part if necessary, inspecting each affected part for damage which may be indicated by signs of corrosion, mechanical damage, loose rivets, or cracks and, depending on the findings, corrective actions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective January 14, 2022.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of January 14, 2022.
