Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive applies to all Eurocopter AS350 helicopters and mandates the inspections and actions in Aerospatiale AS 350 Telex Service 01.07B. It implements the manufacturer’s retirement life for tail‑rotor pitch horns, so parts must be retired/replaced per that telex. The AD allows the pilot‑in‑command to perform the inspection but requires the exact AD reference be entered on the aircraft Maintenance Release when the pilot certifies the daily check. Operators bear compliance costs.
