Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK 117 C-2, MBB-BK 117 D-2, and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters, certificated in any category.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of engine flame out following prolonged operations in falling snow with the inlet barrier filter (IBF) system installed. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent partial icing of an IBF engine intake and engine flame out. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in engine failure and reduced control of the helicopter, possibly resulting in damage to the helicopter or injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

None.
