Airworthiness Directive 2010-24723
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109E Helicopters
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta Model A109E helicopters. This AD results from a mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) AD issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community. The MCAI AD states that after a report of an electrical failure, an investigation revealed inadequate functioning of the 35 amperes (Amps) battery bus (BATT BUS) circuit breaker that was not within design requirements. The actions specified in this AD are intended to replace the 35 Amps circuit breaker with a 50 Amps circuit breaker and replace the wires with oversized ones to prevent an electrical failure, loss of electrical power, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Which aircraft AD 2010-24723 applies to
Applies to all serial numbers up to and including S/N 11758, except S/N 11741, 11754, and 11757, modified with circuit breaker modification kit P/N 109-0812-04-101, -103, -107, or -109.
Whether AD 2010-24723 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.
