Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-21-01 for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS-365N2, AS 365N3, EC 155B, EC155B1, and SA-365N1 helicopters. AD 2020-21-01 required modifying the main gearbox (MGB) tail rotor (T/R) drive flange installation. This AD was prompted by several reported occurrences of loss of tightening torque of the Shur-Lok nut, which serves as a retainer of the MGB T/R drive flange. This AD continues to require modifying the MGB T/R drive flange installation, and includes additional helicopters in the applicability for the required actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-11- 01, which applied to certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 and EC225LP helicopters.

Since the FAA issued AD 2018-11-01, the manufacturer has developed a modification for in-service helicopters for replacing aluminum splices with steel splices on frame 5295. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2018-11-01 and requires a modification for replacing aluminum splices with steel splices on frame 5295 if cracking is found. This AD also provides terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
