Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a mandatory aircraft safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority under the Civil Aviation Regulations.

What it requires Owners and operators must replace or add support brackets to the oil and fuel lines on Turbomeca Artouste 111B turbine engines. This prevents dangerous leaks, chafing, or line failures that could cause engine damage or fire.

Who it affects Anyone operating aircraft fitted with Artouste 111B engines (commonly used in certain helicopters and light aircraft).

Compliance deadline The work had to be completed before 30 April 1974 (note: this is a historical directive).

How to comply Follow the technical instructions in either:

Turbomeca Service Bulletin No. 79.218.0050, or
Alternative directive AD/TURB-T/7

Why it matters Unsecured or worn oil and fuel lines can fracture due to vibration or heat, leading to catastrophic engine failure, in-flight fire, or forced landings.
