Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC 155B Helicopters

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France Model EC 155B helicopters that currently requires, before each flight, visually checking each sliding door to ensure that each door roller is inside its rail. This amendment requires modifying the cabin sliding door rails and replacing the roller fitting. This amendment is prompted by the development of a modification that mechanically restrains the roller within its rail. 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.

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.
