- Airbus Helicopters AD -
FAA proposes to adopt new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters.
Proposed AD would require inspecting attachment screws of each main gearbox (MGB) suspension bar rear attachment fitting,
and depending on the outcome, applying a sealing compound, performing further inspections, and replacing affected parts.
Proposed AD prompted by reports of elongated attachment screw and loss of tightening torque of the nut.
