Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France Model SA-365N, N1, and AS-365N2, N3 helicopters. This action requires inspecting the sand filter ejection nozzle (nozzle) for cracks and replacing any cracked nozzle. This amendment is prompted by the discovery of a cracked nozzle during a preflight inspection. This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of the nozzle in flight, impact with the main or tail rotor, and a subsequent forced landing.
