Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

FAA / Federal Register · 2026-12052

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-11- 08, which applied to all Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350D, EC130B4, and EC130T2 helicopters. AD 2022-11-08 required incorporating into maintenance records certain requirements (airworthiness limitations). Since the FAA issued AD 2022- 11-08, it was determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual (MM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICAs) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
