AD 2025-18-09 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Models named: AS 332L2, EC 225LP. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Model AS 332L2 and EC 225LP helicopters, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency AD 2024-0142, dated July 17, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0142).
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, EASA AD 2024-0142. Note 1 to paragraph (g): EASA AD 2024-0142 and Airbus Helicopters material that is referenced in EASA AD 2024-0142 refer to MGB suspension bar attachment “bolts” as “screws.”
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of overlengthened and deformed attachment bolts installed on the new link of the main gearbox (MGB) suspension bar attachment bracket. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the MGB suspension bar attachment bolts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of an MGB attachment assembly, detachment of an MGB suspension bar, and consequent loss control of the helicopter.
Affected ADs
None.
