Applicability*9

This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.A. Model A109E, A109S, AW109SP, A119, and AW119 MKII 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 2025-0131, dated June 16, 2025 (EASA AD 2025-0131).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report that certain manufacturer maintenance instructions for swashplate assembly installation specified incorrect torque values for certain swashplate nuts. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct the condition of the swashplate nuts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the main rotor function and consequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Affected ADs

None.
