interval during the day, inspect for correct
alignment of the blade tip cap junction in the
flapping direction as shown in Figure 3 and
by following the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 2.B.4., Eurocopter
France Alert Service Bulletin 62A006, dated
May 18, 2004 (ASB), except this AD does not
require you to contact the manufacturer.
(A) During the initial alignment inspection,
mark the position of the ruler and record the
initial clearance value of ‘‘DO’’ by following
the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph
2.B.3.a)3. through 2.B.3.a)6. of the ASB. The
initial clearance distance between the lower
edge of the 24 inch (500mm) straight edge
ruler and the upper surface of the blade
assembly at the blade-to-tip cap junction is
called ‘‘DO.’’
(B) If the measured clearance as
determined by paragraph 2.B.4. of the ASB is
equal to or greater than ‘‘DO’’ + 2mm, replace
the blade with an airworthy blade before
further flight.
(ii) Within the next 3 months, remove and
inspect each blade for the correct wedge
position, a crack in the tenon, correct
alignment of the blade tip cap, and erosion
in the leading edge in Zone 1 by following
the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph
2.B, of the ASB except this AD does not
require you to contact the manufacturer.
(A) If the wedge is incorrect
(dissymmetrical position) as shown in Figure
2 of the ASB, using a 10x or higher
magnifying glass and a light, inspect the
imbedded portion of the tenon as shown in
Figure 5 of the ASB for a crack by following
the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph
2.B.3., of the ASB.
(1) If a crack is found in the tenon, before
further flight, replace the blade with an
airworthy blade.
(2) If no crack is found in the tenon,
inspect the end of the leading edge of the
blade for erosion in Zone 1 as shown in
Figure 7 of the ASB.
(B) If the wedge position is correct
(symmetrical position) as shown in Figure 1
of the ASB, inspect the end of the leading
edge of the blade for erosion in Zone 1 as
shown in Figure 7 of the ASB.
(C) Thereafter, on or before 660 hours TIS
and at intervals not to exceed 660 hours TIS,
remove the blade and the blade tip cap, scrap
the 35 attachment screws, and inspect the
end of the leading edge of the blade for
erosion in Zone 1 as shown in Figure 7 of the
ASB.
(3) For a blade with a S/N of 809 or greater:
(i) For a blade that has less than 660 hours
TIS, on or before 660 hours TIS and
thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 660
hours TIS, remove the blade and the blade tip
cap, scrap the 35 attachment screws, and
inspect the end of the leading edge of the
blade for erosion in Zone 1 as shown in
Figure 7 of the ASB.
(ii) For a blade that has 660 or more hours
TIS, on or before 100 hours TIS and
thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 660
hours TIS, remove the blade and the blade tip
cap, scrap the 35 attachment screws, and
inspect the end of the leading edge of the
blade for erosion in Zone 1 as shown in
Figure 7 of the ASB.

(4) If any inspection of the end of the
leading edge of a blade in Zone 1, as shown
in Figure 7 of the ASB, results in:
(i) Erosion in Zone 1—clean and caulk the
eroded zone by following the
Accomplishments Instructions, paragraph
2.B.6., of the ASB, and reinstall the blade tip
cap and caulk the gap in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph
2.B.7, of the ASB.
(ii) No Erosion in Zone 1—reinstall the
blade tip cap and caulk the gap in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions,
paragraph 2.B.7., of the ASB.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI
(f) We have identified the following
differences:
(1) We refer to the actions required by this
AD by using the word ‘‘inspect’’ rather than
‘‘check’’ to indicate that the actions are done
by a mechanic rather than a pilot.
(2) We do not require you to contact the
manufacturer as specified in the service
information.
(3) We use the words ‘‘hours time-inservice’’ rather than ‘‘flight hours.’’
(4) We did not use the compliance date of
September 30, 2004 to remove affected blades
because that date has passed.
