This directive requires removal from service of a specific Turbomeca Arrius 2F turboshaft engine (serial number 34084). Compliance requires removal before further flight, which operators must execute at their own cost.

CASA’s delegate issued the AD because the engine may have been damaged during theft while in transit to an overhaul facility. It applies only to that serial number and mandates immediate grounding pending further inspection or corrective action.
