Airworthiness Directive 2001-25-07
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model AS 332C, L, L1, and L2 Helicopters
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Eurocopter France Model AS 332C, L, L1, and L2 helicopters. That AD requires conducting a filter clogging warning test, and, if necessary, replacing a jammed valve with an airworthy valve. This amendment requires the same actions as the existing AD but references a revision to the previously referenced service information; adds fuel filter part numbers to the applicability; and clarifies other provisions throughout the AD. This amendment is prompted by jammed fuel filter by-pass valves. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent power loss due to fuel starvation, engine flameouts, and a subsequent forced landing.
Which aircraft AD 2001-25-07 applies to
Fuel filter by-pass valve check and pre-clogging warning test per Eurocopter France Alert Service Bulletin No. 01.00.56, Rev 1; does not apply to aircraft modified per Eurocopter MOD 0726087 or in compliance with Eurocopter AS332 SB No. 28.00.38, dated March 15, 2001.
Whether AD 2001-25-07 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:
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.
