Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (AD) para todos os helicópteros Leonardo S.p.A. Modelos A119 e AW119 MKII. Esta AD foi motivada por um relatório de falha elétrica do alternador-motor de partida, devido a ruptura do eixo de acionamento, que resultou em perda parcial da potência da bateria. Esta AD exige a instalação de um detector de descarga de bateria e a revisão do Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) existente para o helicóptero. Estas ações são especificadas em uma AD da Agência Europeia para a Segurança da Aviação (EASA), que é incorporada por referência. A FAA está emitindo esta AD para solucionar a condição insegura nestes produtos.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.A. Model A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of an electrical failure of the starter-generator, due to a rupture of the drive shaft, which resulted in a partial loss of battery power. This AD requires installing a battery discharge detector and revising the existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for the helicopter. These actions are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
