Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. This AD requires various inspections of the left-hand side (LH) engine fuel supply (fuel supply) hose and depending on the inspection results, reinstalling the fuel supply hose or removing the fuel supply hose from service. Additionally, this AD requires installing an improved part and prohibits installing a certain part-numbered LH fuel supply hose on any helicopter unless it is installed by following certain procedures. This AD was prompted by a report of an incorrect installation of the LH fuel supply hose causing restricted fuel flow to the LH engine. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
