Airworthiness Directive 2005-19-10
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Turbomeca Arrius 2 F Turboshaft Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Turbomeca Arrius 2 F turboshaft engines. This AD requires removing from service certain serial number (SN) fuel control units (FCUs) or replacing the constant delta pressure diaphragm in those FCUs. This AD results from a report of an accident in July 2005 involving a Eurocopter EC120B helicopter. We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncommanded engine in-flight shutdown on a single-engine helicopter, resulting in a forced autorotation landing or an accident.
Which aircraft AD 2005-19-10 applies to
Applies only to engines with fuel control units listed by serial number in Turbomeca Alert Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. A319 73 4825, dated August 3, 2005.
Whether AD 2005-19-10 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.
