Resumo da Diretiva
A FAA propõe adotar uma nova diretriz de aeronavegabilidade (AD) para todos os helicópteros Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Modelos EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, EC135T3 e EC635T2+. Esta AD proposta foi motivada por um relatório de separação de um conjunto de pá do rotor de cauda (TRB) devido a uma trinca causada por corrosão intergranular. Esta AD proposta exigiria inspeções repetitivas de um certo conjunto de TRB quanto a trincas e, dependendo dos resultados, remover qualquer conjunto de TRB trincado do serviço e substituir uma peça afetada como ação terminativa para as inspeções repetitivas. Esta AD proposta também proibiria a instalação de um certo conjunto de TRB em qualquer helicóptero, a menos que certos requisitos sejam atendidos. A FAA está propondo esta AD para resolver a condição insegura nestes produtos.
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, EC135T3, and EC635T2+ helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a separated tail rotor blade (TRB) assembly due to a crack caused by intergranular corrosion. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting a certain TRB assembly for cracks and, depending on the results, removing any cracked TRB assembly from service and replacing an affected part as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing a certain TRB assembly on any helicopter unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.Texto Completo da Diretiva
