PRODUCT: Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B3 helicopters

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is revising airworthiness directive (AD) 2018-01-12 for the aircraft listed above to correct an error.

As published, AD 2018-01-12 referenced an incorrect monostable toggle switch part number (P/N) in the preamble and regulatory text. This document corrects the error.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 86 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Operators may
incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:

Labor costs are estimated at $85 per workhour.

  • Installing a timer relay for the yaw servo hydraulic switch and an indicator light takes about 9 work-hours and parts cost about $2,224.
