Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of Eurocopter AS332 C/C1/L/L1 helicopters fitted with Turbomeca Makila 1A/1A1 engines and specified fuel-governor serial numbers to follow Turbomeca instructions: apply an Alert Telex, update the Aircraft Flight Manual with recalculated engine limits, and perform a fuel-control-unit (FCU) maximum fuel-flow check. CASA mandates these actions before further flight or by specified deadlines; operators and maintenance organisations must obtain acceptable FCUs, carry out checks, and bear the cost and any operational downtime.
