PRODUCT: Aeronautical Accessories, Inc. (AAI) high landing gear forward crosstube assemblies (crosstubes) installed on Agusta S.p.A.

SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-22-06
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires counting and recording the total number of landings for the crosstubes, and inspecting the crosstubes and replacing them if a crack or other damage exists.

The actions are intended to prevent failure of a crosstube, collapse of the landing gear, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective December 14, 2012.
