Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Document Number: 2022-26175
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-12-02
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters (Airbus) Model SA330J helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of restricted movement of the collective lever caused by incidental contact of the secondary stop cover due to a loosened rivet. This AD requires removing the plate of the collective lever secondary stop and replacing it with self-adhesive tape to cover the stop support and decrease the risk of resistance on the rotor flight controls, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment to VOR Federal Airway V-436 and Jet Route J-125, and Establishment of United States Area Navigation Route T-399 in the Vicinity of Clear, AK
Document Number: 2022-26171
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-12-02
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on November 1, 2022, that amends Alaskan VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-436 and Jet Route J-125, and establishes United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. In the final rule, the amendments to V-436 addressed in the preamble were incomplete and did not address all of the airway segment amendments being made. Additionally, the final rule referenced the AILEE, AK, route point as a waypoint (WP), in error, in the V-436 and T-399 amendment discussions in the preamble and in the T- 399 route description in the regulatory text. The correct characterization of the AILEE, AK, route point is as a Fix. This action corrects the oversight of not including all of the V-436 amendments addressed in the preamble to match the V-436 description in the regulatory text and changes all references of the AILEE, AK, WP to the AILEE, AK, Fix to match the FAA's National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database information.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Document Number: 2022-26219
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-12-02
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-23-05 for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. AD 2020-23-05 required inspecting the control rod attachment yokes (yokes) of certain main rotor (M/R) rotating swashplates (swashplates), establishing a life limit, performing a one-time inspection of stripped yokes, and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-23-05, the FAA has determined that certain swashplates are not susceptible to the unsafe condition, repetitive inspections for certain swashplates are necessary, and the criteria for when to perform a dye penetrant inspection needed to be revised. This AD retains some of the requirements of AD 2020-23-05 and also requires compliance with a revised life limit; performing a repetitive visual inspection of the yokes on certain swashplates; and depending on the inspection results, removing the affected swashplates from service, performing a dye penetrant inspection of the yoke, and additional corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
