Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model AS332 C, L, and L1 helicopters. This action requires revising the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) Limitations section if certain fuel control units are installed. This AD is prompted by the discovery of an anomaly in certain fuel control units that may lead to inadequate fuel flow in single-engine flight. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the engine to develop the maximum 2\1/2\ minute one engine inoperative (OEI) power, reduced helicopter performance, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter during OEI operation.
