Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC 155B Helicopters

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France Model EC 155B helicopters. This AD requires, before each takeoff with a cabin sliding door in the open position, visually checking each sliding door to ensure that each door roller is inside its rail. If a roller is outside its rail, before further flight, each roller on each door must be replaced inside its rail. This AD also revises the Limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) by prohibiting the opening and closing of a cabin sliding door in flight. This AD is prompted by the loss of a cabin sliding door in flight. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent in- flight loss of a cabin sliding door, impact with the main rotor or fenestron, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Cross-reference boilerplate only; model list precedes excerpt and was not captured. Requires pre-flight visual check that each cabin sliding door roller is in its rail (mentions fenestron tail rotor); French DGAC AD No. T2001-058-001(A) referenced.

Whether AD 2001-13-04 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2001-13-04 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
