Models named: AS332L2. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 helicopters, certificated in any category.

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 Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2021-0086, dated March 24, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0086).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by several reports of cracks in the front attachment points of certain yaw control damper supports (supports) and the subsequent development of an improved (reinforced) support with improved fatigue and load carrying capabilities. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the support, separation of the yaw damper unit, blocking of the yaw flight control channel, and reduced control of the helicopter.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2014-21-03, Amendment 39-17995 (79 FR 63809, October 27, 2014) (AD 2014-21-03).
