Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive is a mandatory safety order requiring operators of specific Eurocopter Dauphin helicopters to fix a dangerous defect.

The Problem Incorrect part numbers for fire detectors were found installed in the baggage holds (storage compartments) of some SA 365N helicopters. If a fire broke out in the baggage area, these wrong parts might fail to detect it, putting passengers and crew at risk.

What Must Be Done Operators must follow the technical instructions in Aerospatiale Service Bulletin SA 365N No. 01.19. This typically involves inspecting and replacing the incorrect fire detectors with the proper ones.

Who Is Affected All SA 365N model Dauphin helicopters.

Compliance Timeline The work must be completed within 50 hours of flight time after the directive takes effect.
