Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Helicopters

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (Airbus Helicopters) Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters. This AD requires replacing the retaining ring and inspecting the hoist cable hook assembly (hook). This AD was prompted by a report that a hook detached from the hoist cable. The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

Part-conditional — 44301-10-2, 44301-10-5, 44301-10-6, 44301-10-10, 44301-10-11, 44301-10-12, 44301-10-13, 44301-420.

Applies only to helicopters with an externally mounted hoist installed, paired per Table 1: hoist P/N 44301-10-2, -10-5, or -10-6 with hook P/N 44301-420; hoist P/N 44301-10-10, -10-11, -10-12, or -10-13 with hook P/N 44301-423.

Whether AD 2019-05-06 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 2019-05-06 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.
