AD: Airbus Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2015-18-51

PRODUCT: Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of these helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires inspecting certain tail rotor (T/R) blades, replacing the set of T/R blades if there is damage, deactivating the rotor de-icing system, revising the rotorcraft flight manual (RFM), and installing a placard.

This AD is prompted by a report of a T/R de-icing system power supply box stuck in a "closed" position providing an uncontrolled and un-annunciated power supply to the system.

These actions are intended to detect and prevent structural damage to the T/R blades caused by overheating, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 20, 2015 to all persons except those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD 2015-18-51, issued on September 11, 2015, which contains the requirements of this AD. Comments must be received on this AD by December 4, 2015.
