Summary

The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that applied to certain Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW169 helicopters. This action revises the NPRM by requiring modification of certain pilot and co-pilot yaw pedal assemblies with an improved design and re- identification of the affected parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) airworthiness directive (AD), which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the agency is requesting comments on this SNPRM.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
