Applicability*9

This AD revises AD 2014-07-04, Amendment 39-17818 (79 FR 21385, April 16, 2014).

Compliance

(1) Within 5 hours time-in-service, inspect the electrical wires and the hydraulic lines in the upper deck of the helicopter for chafing between electrical wires and hydraulic lines. If there is chafing between electrical wires and hydraulic lines, before further flight, replace the unairworthy wires or lines with airworthy wires or lines. (2) Within 5 hours TIS, inspect each clamp for correct installation as shown in Figures 1 through 13 of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service Bulletin No. 92-20-001, dated October 27, 2005 (ASB). If clamps are incorrectly installed or missing, before further flight, install clamps by following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 3.A.(4) through 3.A.(17) of the ASB. (3) After each maintenance that requires removing clamps, comply with paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD.

Required actions

(1) The Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Send your proposal to: Caspar Wang, Aviation Safety Engineer, Boston Aircraft Certification Office, Engine & Propeller Directorate, FAA, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803; telephone (781) 238-7799; email caspar.wang@faa.gov. (2) For operations conducted under a 14 CFR part 119 operating certificate or under 14 CFR part 91, subpart K, we suggest that you notify your principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district office or certificate holding district office before operating any aircraft complying with this AD through an AMOC.

Unsafe condition

You are responsible for performing each action required by this AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been accomplished prior to that time.

Affected ADs

This AD defines the unsafe condition as an incorrectly installed clamp that does not provide adequate clearance to prevent chafing between the high voltage electrical lines and the hydraulic hoses. This condition could result in a fire in an area of the helicopter without extinguishing capability and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
