Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This directive requires AS350 (Écureuil) helicopters not modified by AMS 350A07.1047 (SB No. 55.03) to have the upper fin attachment fitting inspected using Aerospatiale SB No. 05.09 within 10 hours TIS after 1 Sept 1982 and every 10 hours thereafter.

Operators, owners and maintenance organisations must either perform frequent inspections (with attendant cost and downtime) or adopt SB 55.03, which terminates the repeat-inspection requirement.
