AD: Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Helicopters

AD NUMBER: 2015-11-08

PRODUCT: Agusta Model A109C, A109S, A109K2, A109E, and AW109SP helicopters.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2014-02-08 for the product listed above.

AD 2014-02-08 required inspecting the lock wires securing the tail rotor (T/R) duplex bearing locking nut (locking nut) to determine whether any lock wires are missing or damaged.

This AD retains some of the requirements of AD 2014-02-08 but removes the terminating action, expands the applicability, and adds a daily pilot check.

This AD was prompted by reports of loosening T/R locking nuts. These actions are intended to prevent failure of the T/R and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 24, 2015. Comments must be received by August 10, 2015.

FMI: AD
