AD 2024-26-08 Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
Models named: AB139, AW139. 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 and AW139 helicopters, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
For the purpose of this AD, a landing is counted anytime the helicopter lifts off into the air and then lands again regardless of the duration of the landing and regardless of whether the engine is shutdown.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of broken main landing gear (MLG) shock absorber piston rod eye ends. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking of the MLG shock absorber piston rod eye ends. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in structural failure of the MLG and consequent damage to the helicopter and injury to occupants.
Affected ADs
None.
