Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (DA) para todos os helicópteros Airbus Helicopters Modelo EC 130 B4 e EC 130 T2. Esta DA foi motivada por um relato de danos severos no fenestrom devido à perda da pá do rotor de cauda (RC), que se rompeu na barra de tensão-torção do cubo do RC (barra de tensão-torção). Esta DA exige inspeção da barra de tensão-torção e, dependendo dos resultados da inspeção, substituição da peça por uma peça em condição de aeronavegabilidade. Esta DA também proíbe a realização de manutenção utilizando certos manuais de manutenção. A FAA está emitindo esta DA para resolver a condição insegura nesses produtos.

ENOriginal (Federal Register)

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC 130 B4 and EC 130 T2 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of heavy damage on the fenestron due to the loss of the tail rotor (TR) blade, which broke at the TR hub tension- torsion bar (tension-torsion bar). This AD requires inspecting the tension-torsion bar and, depending on the inspection results, replacing the part with a serviceable part. This AD also prohibits performing maintenance using certain maintenance manuals. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
