Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracks on the fuel filter bowl (bowl) due to over-torquing. The FAA is issuing this AD to inspect for cracks and seepage on the bowl of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) fuel filter. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the fuel filter bowl, in-flight shutdown of both engines, and consequent reduced control of the helicopter.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2024-10-13, Amendment 39-22759 (89 FR 56189, July 9, 2024).
