Plain English Summary

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Agusta A109A and A109AII helicopters to carry out a specific modification and inspection of the passenger and pilots’ door emergency‑release mechanism exactly as set out in Agusta Bollettino Tecnico No. 109‑48 Revision A. CASA issues the directive under the Civil Aviation Regulations, Part 39. Operators and maintenance organisations must perform the prescribed work and inspections (and bear their implementation costs); Amendment 1 simplifies the inspection procedure after a reported in‑flight door loss.
