AD 2021-13-13 Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
Models named: AW189. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 14 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, revise page 3-118 of Section 3, Emergency and Malfunction Procedures, of the existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual for your helicopter by adding page 3-118, Temporary Revision 3-1 Rev. A, of AW189—RFM, Document No. 189G0290X002, Record of Temporary Revisions, dated May 24, 2019, as contained in Annex A of Leonardo Helicopters Document No. 189G0257A061, “AW189—MAF for EASA RFM Issue 2 TR 3-1, Low Fuel Caution Procedure,” Issue B, dated May 22, 2019 (TR 3-1 Rev A). Using a different document with information identical to the information in page 3-118 of TR 3-1 Rev A is acceptable for compliance with the requirement of this paragraph. This action may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with § 43.9(a)(1) through (4) and § 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as required by § 91.417, § 121.380, or § 135.439.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the identification of misleading information in the emergency procedure for the “1(2) FUEL LOW” caution message. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the wrong estimation of the remaining flight time in a low fuel condition. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an uncommanded engine in-flight shut-down and forced landing, with subsequent damage to the helicopter or injury to the occupants.
Affected ADs
None.
