SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 20210065, dated March 8, 2021 EASA AD 2021
0065, to correct an unsafe condition for certain serial-numbered Leonardo S.p.A.
Helicopters, formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland S.p.A., Agusta S.p.A., Model A109S and AW109SP
helicopters.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109S
and AW109SP helicopters as identified in EASA AD 20210065. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2021 86 FR 54124. The NPRM was prompted by the discovery that rubber protection of certain electrical wiring had not been installed in the baggage avionics bay during production. The NPRM proposed to require installing protective rubber borders on the edge of the baggage avionics bay frames, as specified in EASA AD 20210065.
The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent chafing of electrical wiring, which if not addressed, could result in fire ignition and smoke in the baggage compartment and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See EASA AD 20210065 for additional background information.
