Airworthiness Directive 2014-12-11
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Helicopters
What this AD requires
We are revising Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-12-11 for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A helicopters. AD 2014-12-11 required revising the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) to include the appropriate operating limitations for performing Class D external load-combination operations. As published, AD 2014-12-11 referenced an incorrect date for Revision No. 12 of Sikorsky RFM SA S92A-RFM-003, Part 1. This AD corrects the error while retaining the requirements of AD 2014-12-11. These actions are intended to require appropriate operating limitations to allow operators to perform Class D external load-combination operations, including human external cargo, in this model helicopter that now meets the Category A performance standard.
Which aircraft AD 2014-12-11 applies to
Whether AD 2014-12-11 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.
