AD 2006-10-19 Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC130 B4 Helicopters
Models named: EC130 B4. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model EC130 B4 helicopters, with a throttle twist grip (twist grip) assembly, part number (P/N) 350A27-5209-00, P/N 350A27-5209-01, or P/N 350A27-5209-02, installed, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished during the previous 100 hour time-in-service (TIS) or annual inspection. To detect jamming of the twist grip assembly, which could keep the engine from operating above idle speed and result in subsequent loss of control of the engine power of the helicopter, accomplish the following: (a) Within 30 hours TIS, access the twist grip assembly and inspect the cam and micro-switch body and rollers for: (1) Any foreign chip or debris; (2) Any friction point while turning the twist grip assembly from “Flight” to “Idle” position; (3) Any rotating micro-switch body; and (4) Any micro-switch roller that does not turn freely. (b) If you find any chip or debris, remove it; if you find a friction point, a rotating micro-switch body, a binding micro-switch roller or any other unairworthy part, repair or replace the part before further flight.
