Amdt 1
Main Rotor and Tail Rotor Dynamic Components
10/2003
Applicability: Model SA 365 C, C1, C2, and C3 helicopters, and model AS 365 N, N1, N2, and N3 helicopters; equipped with dynamic components following overhaul (RG) or repair (RE) at the Eurocopter Helicopter Maintenance and Overhaul Facility (D.E.R.H.), listed in Tables 1 and 2 (as applicable) of paragraph 4 “Appendix” of Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin No. 65.41 or No. 62.00.19, as applicable.
Requirement: 1. Using the Equipment Log Cards (FMEs) of the dynamic components, check whether the dynamic components embody parts affected by this Directive, in accordance with the instructions specified in paragraph 2.B.1. of Alert Service Bulletin No. 65.41 or No. 62.00.19, as applicable.
If the Requirement 1 check does not reveal the existence of a part affected by this Directive, no further action is required.
If the check reveals the existence of one or more part(s) affected, comply with the instructions specified in paragraph 2.B.2 of Alert Service Bulletin No. 65.41 or No. 62.00.19, as applicable.
2.B.2.2. of Alert Service Bulletin No. 65.41 or No. 62.00.19, as applicable.
Comply with paragraph 2.B. of Alert Bulletin No. 65.41 or No. 62.00.19, as applicable; on dynamic components that have been stored following repair or overhaul, before installation on aircraft.
Note: DGAC AD 2002-452(A) R1 refers.
Compliance: 1. Within 10 flight hours after 11 September 2002, unless already accomplished.

AD/DAUPHIN/60 Amdt 1 (continued)
This Amendment becomes effective on 2 October 2003.
Background: A discrepancy in the D.E.R.H. computer system, which is used to carry over the number of operating hours of the parts following repair or overhaul work, is the cause of incorrect completion of some Equipment Log Cards. The result of this discrepancy is that a part that has changed part number or serial number following repair or modification, may have been dispatched with incorrect operating hours. Affected items will show zero hours on their FME.
Amendment 1 is issued in response to a revision of the related DGAC AD, which introduces Alert Service Bulletins in place of the previously referenced Alert Telexes, with no change in technical content.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 11 September 2002.
