Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model AS332L2 Helicopters

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France Model AS332L2 helicopters. This action requires inspecting the main frame for a crack and repairing any unairworthy frame before further flight. This amendment is prompted by a report of cracks on the right-hand (RH) side of a main frame. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the main frame and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Which aircraft AD 2002-01-06 applies to

MakesEurocopter

Main frame 5295 crack inspection at Z1350 horizontal members, per Eurocopter France Alert Telex No. 53.01.28 R4; specific model not stated in the retrieved applicability slice.

Whether AD 2002-01-06 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 2002-01-06 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.
