Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC130T2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by the determination of a certain part needing a life limit and re-identification. This proposed AD would require re- identifying a certain part-numbered engine-to-main gearbox (engine-MGB) coupling shaft, and creating a log card or equivalent record, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
