AD 2021-20-12 Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
Models named: AB139, AW139, AB412, AB412 EP. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AB139, AW139, AB412, and AB412 EP helicopters, certificated in any category, with an affected part as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0311, dated December 19, 2019 (EASA AD 2019-0311), installed.
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, EASA AD 2019-0311.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by failure of an Emergency Flotation System (EFS) float compartment to inflate during maintenance of the EFS. The FAA is issuing this AD to address a blocked float supply hose. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in partial inflation of an EFS float during an emergency landing on water and subsequently preventing a timely egress from the helicopter, which could result in injury to helicopter occupants.
Affected ADs
None.
