Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to Eurocopter BK 117 helicopters (S/N 7001–7201) and mandates compliance with Eurocopter/MBB service bulletin ASB‑MBB‑BK 117‑20‑104 before an Australian Certificate of Airworthiness can be issued. Issued after a cowl loss on an Australian aircraft, the AD aims to prevent cowl detachment; owners/operators must carry out and document the required inspections/works at their expense. Amendment 1 updates the mandatory reference to the Eurocopter (MBB) document.
