What this AD requires
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2005-09-51 that we sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of certain Turbomeca Arrius 2F turboshaft engines. This AD requires before further flight, replacing the Module 2 on certain engines listed by serial number (SN) in this AD. This AD results from a report of the failure of a high pressure turbine (HPT) blade and damage to two other HPT blades in a Turbomeca Arrius 2F turboshaft engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the engine and subsequent loss of power.
Which aircraft AD 2005-09-51 applies to
Applies only to the specific engines listed by serial number in Table 1 of the AD (paired with Module 2 serial numbers). Installed on, but not limited to, Eurocopter EC 120B helicopters.
Whether AD 2005-09-51 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.
