Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117D-3 helicopters, certificated in any category. Note 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD: Model MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters that have been converted into Model MBB-BK117 D-3 helicopters are Model MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters and this AD is also applicable to those helicopters.

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 2021-0160, dated July 5, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0160).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of a main rotor (M/R) blade lead-lag damper in a tilted position. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent an unbalance of the M/R system. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in excessive vibration and reduced control of the helicopter.

Affected ADs

None.
