AD FAA-2025-5038

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

Summary

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-05- 09, which applied to all Airbus Helicopters Model SA330J helicopters. AD 2025-05-09 required revising the existing maintenance records by incorporating new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-05-09, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual (MM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
