Models named: SA330J. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model SA330J helicopters, certificated in any category.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022-0140, dated July 7, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0140).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of an incorrectly assembled main rotor gearbox (MGB) flange assembly coupling (coupling). The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and address incorrectly assembled MGB couplings. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of the drive transmission from the left-hand or right-hand engine, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Affected ADs

None.
