Abstract
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2001-26-53, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Eurocopter France (ECF) Model AS350B, B1, B2, B3, BA, D, and AS355E helicopters by individual letters. This AD requires, before further flight, removing certain serial-numbered servocontrols. This AD is prompted by a report of manufacturing defects in a batch of main servocontrol rods. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of a main servocontrol in the flight control system and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
