It requires helicopter owners to complete specific manufacturer service bulletins (technical repair/inspection instructions) before the aircraft can receive its Certificate of Airworthiness (the official document allowing it to fly).\n\n**What's new in this version (Amendment 2):** Removes one specific service bulletin (SB 05.08) from the list because that requirement has been moved to a different airworthiness directive (AD/ECUREUIL/44). This streamlines the paperwork while keeping the safety standards intact.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone operating or maintaining Eurocopter AS 350 series helicopters in Australia."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives","history":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-36-amdt-2-consolidation-of-early-airworthiness-directives/documents"}}
