Models named: EC225LP. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters, certificated in any category.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

For the purposes of this AD, the definitions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of this AD apply. (1) Affected part: A pilot or copilot collective stick having part number (P/N) 704A41110139, equipment manufacturer NSE P/N N2000355. (2) Group 1 helicopters: Helicopters that have an affected part installed. (3) Group 2 helicopters: Helicopters that do not have an affected part installed. A helicopter that has embodied Airbus Helicopters Modification 332P084165 in production is a Group 2 helicopter, provided that helicopter remains in that configuration.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a mechanical deformation found on the protective cover of the “SHEAR” control pushbutton installed on a copilot collective stick. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could lead to unintended shearing of the hoist cable, possibly resulting in loss of a hoisted load or person(s).

Affected ADs

None.
