Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GMBH Model MBB-BK 117C-2 Helicopters

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter Deutschland GMBH (Eurocopter) Model MBB-BK 117C-2 helicopters. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The European Aviation Safety Agency for the Republic of Germany, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in the MCAI:

Which aircraft AD 2008-15-02 applies to

MakesMbb
ModelsMBB-BK117C-2, BK117
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 9004–9104, 9106–9106, 9107–9107, 9111–9111.
Part-conditional — B26K1002-801, B262K1003-801, B262K1004-801.

Applies to S/N 9004 through 9104, plus S/N 9106, 9107, and 9111, with fire extinguishing system P/N B26K1002-801, B262K1003-801, or B262K1004-801 installed.

Whether AD 2008-15-02 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 2008-15-02 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.
