Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/ECUREUIL/5, removing the long-standing requirement for 50‑hour inspections of the tail‑rotor self‑aligning bearing on Eurocopter AS 350 (Ecureuil) helicopters.

Effective 30 July 2009, the safety issue is considered resolved, so owners and operators no longer must perform or record those specific inspections, reducing maintenance burden and cost.
