| 2023-28773 | Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters | Rule | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109E, A109S, AW109SP, A119, and AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of excessive axial play on the ball bearing of the lower half of the main rotor (MR) rotating scissor assembly. This AD requires one-time scissor coupling and axial play inspections and repetitive quantitative axial play inspections and, depending on the results, additional inspections and replacing certain parts. This AD also requires reporting information and prohibits installing certain parts unless certain inspections have been accomplished. These requirements are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2023-12-29 | 2023 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/29/2023-28773/airworthiness-directives-leonardo-spa-helicopters | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-29/pdf/2023-28773.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.a.
