Models named: EC155B1. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with European Aviation Safety Agency (now European Union Aviation Safety Agency) (EASA) AD 2015-0157, dated July 30, 2015 (EASA AD 2015-0157).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of difficulties when jettisoning the co-pilot door during non-scheduled maintenance. The FAA is issuing this AD to address jamming of the affected door jettisoning mechanism, which could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to evacuate in the event of an emergency situation.

Affected ADs

None.
