    Information Notice: Subject: Oil Information On The Locking of The Filler Cap of The Oil Tank

    Uploaded by

    GiuseppeTrotta
    Several incidents occurred where AS350 helicopters lost almost all their engine oil due to the filler cap being incompletely locked. Investigations showed the locking lever could be positioned behind the spout, preventing the lock from being correctly visualized. Work cards will be modified to emphasize ensuring the cap is properly locked, with the lever under the spout for easier verification.

    Airbus Helicopters has been informed of several events on AS350 helicopters in which almost all of the engine oil
    was lost.

    Investigations showed that these oil losses were due to an incomplete locking of the filler cap of the oil tank.
    Depending on the position of the locking assembly, the lever can be positioned behind the spout and prevent
    correct visualization of the locking (see photos below).

    No. 3418-I-79
    For this reason, the Work Cards related to the filling and the inspection of the oil system (as per helicopter version:
    "Checks before the first flight (BFF)" (05-21-00-601), "Check P" (05-40-00,6-7), "Draining - Filling" (12-00-00-301)
    and/or "Filling / Draining - Engine oil system" (79-00-00,3-1)) will be modified to call for special attention to the
    correct locking of the cap. The image below will be added to request that the lever (5) be locked under the spout to
    make its visualization easier.
