1 GENERAL STRUCTURE OF THE ALS

The Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) is broken down into two parts.
The first part comprises general information which explains how the ALS operates and how it must be used.
The second part which defines the limits comprises the following sections:
- 04-10-00, which specifies the components subject to a Service Life Limit (SLL),
- 04-20-00, which specifies the mandatory airworthiness inspections (CHK) and provides various
specific information to be performed on the helicopter, periodically or a limited number of times,
regardless of the operating conditions.
2 BREAKDOWN OF THE ALS

The various parts of the ALS are presented in the form of Document Units (DUs).
2.1 Identification of the DUs

Each DU is unique and is identified by the following:
- The title of the manual at the top right hand side of the page,
- The effectivity (helicopter type and version) marked at the bottom left hand side of the page,
- The date code of the DU at the bottom left hand side of the page below the effectivity
(format: year.month.day),
- The number or title of the DU at the bottom right hand side of the page,
- The page number at the bottom right hand side of the page.
The end of each Document Unit is identified by "End of the Document Unit" on the last page.
2.2 Task codes

The DUs in sections 04-10-00 and 04-20-00 comprise maintenance tasks. These tasks are identified
by a unique code specific to Airbus Helicopters, comprising a group of 15 characters.
Example:
The first four digits (22/10/00/000/000/000) correspond to the ATA chapter/section breakdown.
The fifth and sixth digits (22/10/00/000/000/000) are used to subdivide an ATA chapter/section
comprising several subjects into individual subjects.
The seventh to fifteenth digits (22/10/00/000/000/000), are used to identify the task per ATA
chapter/section/subject.
2.3 List Of Effective Document Units (LOEDU)

The LOEDU specifies the following information, for each DU, in a table:
- the Document Unit (DU): this column specifies the number of the DU or the title of the
DU (example: 04-20-00).
AS 350 B2
ALS
- the type: this column is coded with the letter "R" if the DU is revised, "D" if the DU is deleted,
"N" if the DU is new, or has no code for DUs which are unchanged.
- the date: this column indicates the DU date code.
3 CLASSIFICATION OF INFORMATION
The DUs in sections 04-10-00 and 04-20-00 are classed in increasing order according to ATA 100 numbering.
AS 350 B2
ALS
UPDATE OF THE ALS
1 REVISION OF THE ALS

The ALS is revised approximately every 6 months.
The ALS cover page bears the issue date code (first issue), the current revision number taken in
chronological order followed by the revision date code (example: Issue date: 2010.01.30, Revision 002:
2010.07.30, the last applicable revision is revision 002 with a date code of 2010.07.30).
The date code marked on the new or revised DUs corresponds to the revision date code marked on the
cover page.
2 UPDATE OF THE ALS

2.1 Update procedure
The user is responsible for updating his documentation each time he receives a revision or a new
issue from the manufacturer. The ALS is updated using the new LOEDU which specifies which DU
must be inserted (new DU), replaced (revised DU) or removed (deleted DU). A deleted DU is issued
with the wording "DU TO BE REMOVED FROM THE MANUAL" in the revision concerned.
Once the ALS has been updated, the date code of each DU indicated at the bottom left hand side of
each page must correspond with the LOEDU.
The beginning of the ALS includes a "HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REVISION" page which explicitly
summarizes the modifications made to each revision or new issue.
NOTE
After updating, the "RECORD OF REVISIONS" page at the

beginning of the ALS must be completed (date, name and
signature).
2.2 Identification of the modifications

Modifications are identified by a revision mark in the form of a vertical line in the right hand margin
of the page. Revision marks are not used in the following DUs:
- LOEDU,
- Table of Contents,
- Highlights of the Revision.
3 EFFECTIVITY
The operator must check the effectivity of the ALS used (correctly updated) for the helicopter concerned.
The effectivity (helicopter type and version) is indicated on the cover page and is repeated at the bottom of
each page comprising the ALS DUs.
AS 350 B2
UPDATE OF THE ALS
ALS
1 PURPOSE OF THE ALS

The Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) drafted by the manufacturer, draws up a list of all the components
subject to one or more airworthiness limitations and defines these limits.
It specifies the mandatory operations and limits to ensure the continued airworthiness of the helicopter
(*), in all its varied operating missions.
For the airworthiness limitations and the life limits assigned to the engine components, refer to the engine
manufacturer's documentation.
(*) Helicopter (type/version) defined by Airbus Helicopters.
2 CHANGES TO THE ALS

The ALS section is modified by the manufacturer according to changes to the helicopter definition.
Each modification to the ALS is subject to approval by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
3 AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SPECIFICATION

The Airworthiness Limitations can be expressed in the form of a life limit, an airworthiness inspection interval
or various specific information.
3.1 Components subject to a Service Life Limit (SLL)

Life-limited components are components that are exposed to fatigue deterioration due to inservice
stress, and the failure could cause catastrophic effect to the helicopter.
The loads applied to these components cause the latter to deteriorate according to one or more
types of fatigue:
- vibration fatigue, which is related to the number of flight hours logged (very large number
of low-amplitude load variations),
- low-cycle fatigue, which is related to a limited number of large load variations (example:
centrifugal load variations, related to the number of rotor starts, or large torque variations related
to takeoff, etc.),
- fatigue related to the number of times certain components are used.
These components must be removed from service when the specified limit is reached.
NOTE
The service life limits assigned to components guarantee

flight safety with regard to the flight load fatigue alteration
of components with no external deterioration. These ser-
vice life limits are not a commercial guarantee because a
component may be removed due to wear, fretting, corro-
sion or scoring, etc., before expiry of the service life.
The only warranty applicable to the helicopter and any

component is the warranty included in the Sales Contract
for the helicopter and the components.
3.2 Components subject to an airworthiness inspection

A component subject to an airworthiness inspection must be inspected periodically to confirm:
AS 350 B2
ALS
- that there is no deterioration,

- or that the deterioration found is within the removal or maintenance criteria specified in the
documentation.
In both cases, the component is kept in service until the next inspection. The component must
be removed from service when it reaches the criterion for removal, or made serviceable again as
per the instructions given in the documentation.
The visual inspection is aimed at the overall external appearance of the component (no distortion,
failure, cracks, scratches, signs of heating or wear, etc.), which would modify its original condition.
STANDING INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO CONDITION: Surface deterioration and deterioration of
protection and paint on all helicopter components must be examined and treated without delay in
accordance with the applicable instructions (criteria, then reworking).
When an airworthiness inspection requires the mea-

surement of a physical value (clearance, vibration
level, tightening torque, separated surface area,
etc.), the value measured at each inspection must be
recorded on an appropriate medium (e.g.: follow-up
sheet).
4 EFFECTIVITY - RESPONSIBILITY
The limits assigned to the component part numbers listed in ALS are applicable to material:
- acquired directly from Airbus Helicopters or through the Airbus Helicopters subsidiaries or distribution
network,
- purchased from the equipment vendors listed in our spare part catalogs, either directly or through
their own distribution network.
In all cases, the manufacturing source is specified in the "airworthiness document" (JAA Form One or
equivalent).
Airbus Helicopters will not carry out repairs on service life limited parts which were procured other than
through the Airbus Helicopters distribution network.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO REUSE PARTS, EQUIPMENT OR

ASSEMBLIES ORIGINATING FROM A HELICOPTER
WHICH HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT,
WITHOUT FORMAL TECHNICAL APPROVAL FROM
THE AIRBUS HELICOPTERS CUSTOMER TECHNICAL
SUPPORT DEPARTMENT.

USE OF THE ALS
1 COMPLIANCE WITH THE AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION

The Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) specifies all the components which are subject to airworthiness
limitations, which must be complied with in addition to the information given in the maintenance program
(MSM).
THE LIMITS MUST BE COMPLIED WITH TO ENSURE

THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE HELICOPTER. THE
TIME LIMITS MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED AND ANY
CHANGE MUST BE SUBJECT TO PRIOR APPROVAL
BY THE EASA AND AIRBUS HELICOPTERS.
2 OCCURRENCE REPORTING
Reporting of any malfunction, failure, fault or other occurrence which had or may have an adverse effect on
the airworthiness of the helicopter is a key factor in keeping the helicopter safe and airworthy and for the
continuous improvement of flight safety.
2.1 Reporting to the airworthiness authorities

The operator shall inform his relevant Airworthiness Authority of any occurrence that shall be reported
according to the local regulations he is subject to.
2.2 Reporting to the helicopter manufacturer

As part of the Continued Airworthiness Program, any technical incident, discovered in operation or during
maintenance work, must be reported by the operator to the helicopter manufacturer. A technical incident is
a technical event which is unexpected.
A few examples of technical incidents are given below. This list is not exhaustive. It is given as an
illustration, intended to help the operator to understand the definition of a technical incident which is
to be reported to the helicopter manufacturer.
In case of doubt on the need to report an event, the event shall be reported.
Examples of incidents to be reported (non exhaustive list):
- technical difficulty in accomplishing the mission as planned, including but not limited to, difficulty
resulting in an aborted mission,
- technical event increasing the crew workload,
- technical event that may jeopardize the airworthiness of the helicopter for the continuation of the
mission or the safety of persons onboard or on the ground,
- in-flight loss or rupture of any part,
- abnormal deterioration (wear, scratch, crack, corrosion, delamination, bonding failure,
indentation, etc...) to any structural or mechanical part, especially when exceeding the
maintenance manual (AMM) removal/repair criteria or in case no maintenance criteria exist,
- system malfunction or loss (including partial or temporary incorrect operation) and interference
within or between systems,
- incorrect operation of a system intended to minimize the effects of an accident, including when
being used for maintenance or test purposes,
- incorrect operation or malfunction of a system, or deterioration of a part found when complying
with an Airworthiness Directive,
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
- non-conformity of a product, part or equipment with respect to its approved design, or a product
of unknown or doubtful origin,
- missing, misleading, incorrect or unclear procedure that could lead to a flight crew or
maintenance error,
- abnormal vibration,
- abnormal heating, smoke, fire,
- repetitive instances of any technical event which in isolation would not be considered "reportable"
but which due to the frequency at which they arise, form a potential hazard,
- any other occurrence which has resulted in or may result in an unsafe condition.
In case of doubt concerning the need to report an event, the event shall be reported.
3 IN-SERVICE MONITORING OF COMPONENTS

All the components listed in section 04-10-00 of the ALS are to be monitored in service, unless "not to be
monitored in service" is specifically mentioned in the task.
The in-service monitoring of components consists in recording the date of installation, the number of flight
hours and/or the cycles logged on the equipment log card (FM).
If the component does not have a log card (component monitored via the log card of its higher assembly, etc.),
before installation, the operator must organize his documentation in order to comply with the limits relating to
this component (refer to Standard Practices Manual Work Card 20.08.05.101).
These records must be kept if the component is transferred from one helicopter to another (refer to § 5.9).
All the documentation must be organized to enable recording of all the parameters used to comply with the
limits.
4 COMPONENT PART NUMBERS

4.1 Definition
- Manufacturer Part Number (MP/N): This is the identification number of the component marked
on the identification plate or directly on the component.
- Airbus Helicopters Part Number (P/N): This is the Airbus Helicopters part number which
is associated with the manufacturer's part number (MP/N) for components which are not
manufactured by Airbus Helicopters.
The part number of the components which is given in the ALS is the manufacturer's part number
(MP/N). In the case of components which are not manufactured by Airbus Helicopters, the MP/N is
followed by the associated P/N (in brackets).
Example:
In some cases the P/N is not specified, in this case it is replaced by a hyphen.

In some cases, the MP/N can be assigned a suffix (example: MP/N 350A31-1831-04M), used for
spares to indicate the installation of an optional component or a specific configuration.
These MP/Ns with a suffix generally do not appear in the ALS.
The limit applicable to an MP/N with a suffix is identical to that of the same MP/N without a suffix.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
Example: the limit given for assembly MP/N 350A31-1831-04 is valid for assembly MP/N
350A31-1831-04 and assembly MP/N 350A31-1831-04M.
4.3 Applicability of the limits

The limit(s) specified for the first MP/N are valid for all the other MP/Ns listed in the same task.
Example:
4.4 Effectivity
Unless otherwise specified, the service life and airworthiness inspections specified in the ALS apply
to the components whose part numbers are specified in this section as well as to their successive
dash numbers if these are not yet specified in this section.
In this case, check the installation effectivity of the dash number with the Airbus Helicopters technical
support department.
5 EXPRESSION OF THE LIMITS

A component or an airworthiness inspection can be subject to one or more airworthiness limitations,
expressed in:
- flight hours,
- calendar time,
- cycles with large centrifugal load or torque variations,
- number of operations (for certain components),
- Infinite limit.
5.1 Flight Hours
- Flight Hours (FH) are counted from takeoff to landing.
5.2 Calendar time

Calendar time can be expressed:
- in Months (M),
- in Days (D),
- After the Last Flight of the day (ALF).
5.2.1 Initial aging date for a component
The initial aging date for a component to be taken into account is generally the date of first
installation or first destorage, to be recorded on the equipment log card.
The storage time before installation is therefore not to be taken into account on the
condition that storage was in accordance with the applicable documentation, except for the
following specific cases.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
For some components, the aging date to be taken into account is the date of manufacture
marked on the Log Card (FM). In this case, TSM (Time Since Manufacture) is specified in
each task concerned in the ALS.
5.3 Cycles
5.3.1 Cycles with large centrifugal load variation

To limit the number of parameters to be monitored during aircraft operation, the service life
limit of the components likely to be deteriorated by large centrifugal load variations has
been calculated based on 6 rotor starts/stops per flight hour.
If aircraft operation involves on average more than 6 rotor starts/stops per flight hour over a
period of more than 600 flight hours, the actual service life of some components could be
less than that specified in this document.
In this case, you must inform Airbus Helicopters.
5.3.2 Cycle with large torque variation
The number of torque variation cycles varies significantly with the missions that can be
performed by a helicopter (example: external load carrying operations, such as logging, can
lead to a large number of torque cycles), up to 60 per hour, whereas passenger transport
flights of one hour on average lead only to one torque cycle per hour.
Therefore, no fixed number of cycles has been specified in order to avoid premature
removal of components that are subject to few torque variations. The life limit of the
components concerned is indicated in Torque Cycles (TC).
Consequently, the number of torque variation cycles logged must be monitored carefully
and counted as follows:
- 1 landing with or without stopping the rotor = 1 TC

- 1 external load carrying operation = 1 TC
- 1 water dropping = 1 TC
The cycles associated with external load carrying operations and with water dropping must
be added to the landing cycles.
5.4 Number of operations for certain components

Certain components may be subject to fatigue limits related to the number of operations. In this case,
the type of use to be counted is defined directly in the tasks concerned with the permissible number.
5.5 Infinite limit

Infinite limit (INF), indicate that the component has an infinite service life in flight hours, cycles or time.
5.6 Airworthiness limitation units – Description and counting
5.6.1 Airworthiness limitation expressed in Flight Hours

Tasks for which the airworthiness limitation is expressed in flight hours: count the number
of flight hours.
5.6.2 Airworthiness limitation expressed in Torque Cycles

Tasks for which the airworthiness limitation is expressed in torque cycles: count the torque
cycles as per § 5.3.2 or 5.4.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
5.6.3 Airworthiness limitations expressed in Flight Hours and Torque Cycles

Tasks for which the airworthiness limitation is expressed in flight hours and torque cycles:
count the flight hours and the torque cycles logged.
5.7 Removal of life-limited components

When a limit is reached, the component must be rejected and finally withdrawn from service. When a
component is assigned several limits, it must be rejected when the first of the limits is reached
(refer to § 5.11).
5.8 Provisional limitations

The limits for which additional fatigue tests indicate the possibility of an extension, are identified by
code "P" (Provisional). This code (P) follows the value of the limit in the tasks concerned.
The operator should therefore store the component in question after removal, pending a service life
extension.
5.9 Version identification of components

Generally, new components can be installed on several Ecureuil family helicopter types or versions.
As the operating conditions are sometimes different from one version to another, components must
be identified according to the version to which they have been assigned in order to know the versions
on which the components have been used.
All the components listed in section 04-10-00 are subject to version identification.
5.9.1 Principle
The version is identified by marking one or more letters or figures in a box (corresponding to
the version to which the component is assigned), in an indelible manner, near to the part
number, in accordance with MTC Work Card 20.08.05.103.
Example:
[Y] - 350A31-0000-01, component installed on helicopter version Y (original assignment).
[Ұ][X] - 350A31-0000-01, component transferred from helicopter version Y to version X;
version Y must be struck out and followed by the new assigned version X.
5.9.2 Marking the version
The version is marked on the components at the latest when they are removed for the
first time.
The equipment log card of the component concerned or of its next higher assembly must be
filled in as soon as the component is installed on a helicopter.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
5.10 Periodic and perform once airworthiness inspections

The maintenance operations associated with the airworthiness inspections indicated in section
04-20-00 of the ALS are to be performed:
- Periodically: the maintenance operation must be performed at the latest when the indicated
limit is reached.
NOTE
For operational reasons, the maintenance operation can

be performed before the limit is reached. However, the
maximum interval between two maintenance operations
must be complied with.
or
- Once only: the maintenance operation must be performed once only, when the indicated limit is
reached. It must not be performed before the limit is reached.
These maintenance operations are identified by a dotted line around the task and by code
PO (Perform Once) in front of the limit value.
These operations can be performed either:
- After installation of a component removed from the same helicopter,
- After the introduction to service of a new, overhauled or repaired component,
- After installation of a component originating from another helicopter,
- Each time after the component is installed.
The start of the maintenance operation is specified in each task concerned.
Example:
5.11 Performance interval

Some components subject to a service life limit (SLL) and airworthiness inspections (CHK) are
assigned several performance limits separated by the "//" or "&" sign.
In the case of limits separated by the "//" sign, at the first limit reached, the component must be
removed and rejected or the airworthiness inspection must be performed.
The next limit at which the component is to be rejected or the airworthiness operation is to be
performed will once again be the first limit reached.
In the case of airworthiness inspections separated by the "&" sign, the maintenance operation must
be performed at each limit indicated.
Example 1:
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
A casing has logged only 100000 TC and 20000 FH: the casing has reached the FH limit; it must
therefore be removed and rejected.
Example 2:
The maintenance operation must be performed once at 60 M and once at 96 M after installation.
The maintenance operation must be repeated only if the component is removed then reinstalled or
replaced.
5.12 Specific and severe atmospheric operating conditions

Certain specific and severe climatic conditions are considered as specific operating conditions. This
concerns the use of helicopters in the following conditions:
- Tropical and damp atmosphere:

. Combination of high ambient temperatures and humidity levels (from +28°C (+82.4°F) and
75% relative humidity).
- Salt-laden atmosphere:
. Ship-based or,
. Based for more than 50% of its time less than 1 km from the coast or,
. Spending more than 50% of its time in offshore flight at low altitude (below 1,000 feet).
- Sand- and/or dust-laden atmosphere:

. Sand-laden wind and/or landing on sandy ground.
- Cold weather:
. Temperatures observed or forecast from -10°C to -30°C (+ 14°F to -22°F).
- Very cold weather:

. Temperatures observed or forecast from -30°C to -40°C (-22°F to -40°F).
The limitation relating to these operating conditions is covered with all the ALS tasks and the operating
conditions should be recorded in addition to the parameters listed in the chapter 3 - in service
monitoring of components - to comply with the appropriate limitations.
5.13 Airworthiness limitations value

The airworthiness limitation value represents the limitation not to be exceeded. No tolerance is
permitted on the airworthiness limitation value.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
The airworthiness limitation value equals to a limit value + margin value.

5.13.1 Definition of the margin
To introduce "flexibility" into maintenance planning in order to compensate for unpredictable
situations (e.g. unforeseeable increase in the helicopter utilization rate), Airbus Helicopters
defines a value, called "margin" which can be added to a limit value.
NOTE
The margin concept only concerns airworthiness checks

(CHK).
No margin is allowed for SLL-type limitations, therefore the

margin value displayed is 0.
This margin, added to the limit value displayed in the column "CHK" to which it is applicable,
results in the airworthiness limitation value (limit value + margin value) to be taken into
account for two consecutive inspections.
5.13.2 Application of the margin
The margin can be used repetitively for each limit value interval (refer to figure which
follows).
However, to maintain certain "flexibility" in maintenance planning, Airbus Helicopters
recommends to plan airworthiness checks using the limit value without taking the margin
into account.
5.13.3 Specification of the margin
The margin value and its units are specified as shown in the following example.
Example:
No units are specified when the margin equals zero.
5.13.4 Example of how the margin is used
X is the limit value for performing the maintenance operation and Y is the margin value
added to the limit value.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
After using the first margin value (partially or completely), the next maintenance operation is
to be performed again within the X+Y interval, that is to say before the next airworthiness
limitation value.
6 TRANSFER OF A LIFE-LIMITED COMPONENT INCLUDED IN SECTION 04-10-00

FROM ONE HELICOPTER VERSION TO ANOTHER HELICOPTER VERSION
The versions concerned by the transfer of a component are identified in the following table:
Ecureuil Family Civil versions

AS 350 B, BA, BB, B1, B2, B3, D
AS 355 E, F, F1, F2, N, NP
EC 130 B4, T2
It is forbidden to transfer components between civil

and military version helicopters.

The transfer of a component (part or assembly) included in section 04-10-00, from helicopter version
"x" to helicopter version "y", is authorized only if the following conditions are met simultaneously:
- both helicopter versions "x" and "y" must be listed in the table above. The transfer of components
originating from any other version or any other type of helicopter is forbidden,
- the part number of the component to be transferred is listed both in section 04-10-00 of version
"x" and in section 04-10-00 of version "y",
- the component to be transferred does not have a provisional limitation (neither in section
04-10-00 of version "x" nor in section 04-10-00 of version "y") unless "Transfer authorized, refer
to the Document Unit "USE OF THE ALS"" is specifically mentionned in the task.
6.3 Application rules

If the transfer is authorized, comply with the following application rules:
6.3.1 If the component Service Life Limits are exactly the same on the aircraft versions "x" and "y",
you must continue to count the flight hours and/or torque cycles on the aircraft version "y".
6.3.2 If the component Service Life Limits on the aircraft version "x" and "y" are different, convert
the flight hours and/or torque cycles already logged by applying the calculation rules given
in paragraph 6.4.
6.3.3 When a component which is "not to be monitored in service" on the aircraft version "x"
is transferred to an aircraft version "y" on which it is "to be monitored in service", this
component should be considered as new from the time the transfer is effective (operating
time in flight hours and/or in torque cycles equal to zero), unless this component has
already been transferred as described in paragraph 6.3.4.
6.3.4 When a component is removed from an aircraft version "x" on which it is "to be monitored in
service", then installed on the aircraft version "y" on which it is no longer "to be monitored
in service", you must to continue to monitor this component in service and its Service Life
Limit becomes 20000 flight hours* on the aircraft version "y".
The remaining operating time becomes 20000 flight hours* less the equivalent flying time
(in accordance with paragraph 6.4).
*: or the original Service Life Limit if it is greater than 20000 flight hours.
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
6.4 Calculation rules
6.4.1 Information required for the calculations

Calculating the equivalent flight time on version "y" when the component has already flown
on version "x":
- Flight time logged on version "x" = tx

- Component service life limit on version "x" = SLLx
- Component service life limit on version "y" = SLLy
- Equivalent flight time on version "y" = ty
- Remaining flight time available = T
6.4.2 Calculating ty
ty = tx X (SLLy : SLLx)
6.4.3 Calculating T
Remaining flight time available: T = SLLy – ty
NOTE
This type of calculation also applies for components with a

service life limit expressed in torque cycles.
Examples:
- Component 'A' that has logged 2000 FH on an EC130 version B4 helicopter and is
transferred to an AS350 version B2 helicopter:
Service life limit of component 'A' on EC130 version B4: 6000 FH.
Service life limit of component 'A' on AS350 version B2: 3000 FH.
Equivalent flight time on version B2: 2000 x (3000 : 6000) = 1000 FH.
Remaining flight time on version B2: 3000 - 1000 = 2000 FH.
- Component 'B' that has logged 4000 FH on a version B1 helicopter and is transferred
to a version B2 helicopter:
Service life limit of component 'B' on version B1: 8000 FH.
Service life limit of component 'B' on version B2: 10 000 FH.
Equivalent flight time on version B2: 4000 x (10 000 : 8000) = 5000 FH
Remaining flight time on version B2: 10 000 - 5000 = 5000 FH.
- Component 'C' that has logged 1500 FH on a version B2 helicopter and is to be

transferred to a version B1 helicopter:
Service life limit of component 'C' on version B2: 4500 FH.
Service life limit of component 'C' on version B1: 3000 FH provisional (with no
indication of transfer authorized).
In this case the transfer is not authorized.
- Component 'D' that has logged 1800 FH on a version B2 helicopter and is to be

transferred to a version B1 helicopter:
AS 350 B2
USE OF THE ALS
ALS
Service life limit of component 'D' on version B2: 2 000 FH.

Service life limit of component 'D' on version B1: infinite, not to be monitored in service.
Equivalent flight time on version B1: 1800 x (20 000 : 2 000) = 18 000 FH.
Remaining flight time on version B1: 20 000 - 18 000 = 2 000 FH.
NOTE
The examples above can be adapted directly to service life

limits expressed in torque cycles by replacing flight hours
(FH) with torque cycles (TC) by replacing 20 000 FH with
120 000 TC in example N°4.
6.5 Counting
Then count the flight hours and/or operating torque cycles and add them to the equivalent flight
time "ty".
6.6 Recording
In all cases record the transfer information and calculation on the equipment log card of the
component concerned (refer to § 5.9).
An individual log card must be drawn up if the component has been monitored via the log card of
its higher assembly.
7 TRANSFER OF A COMPONENT SUBJECT TO AN AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTION

8 USE OF THE "WATER BOMBER" INSTALLATION

8.1 Aircraft configuration
When the optional "Water Bomber" system is installed, the horizontal stabilizer angle must be
removed. In the same way, when the optional system is removed, the angle must be reinstalled
(see AMM 25-87-10, 4-1).
8.2 Definition of a flight for the "Water Bomber" version aircraft

This is a flight conducted during a fire fighting mission (actual mission or training mission) during
which the reservoir is filled with water and the water is dropped.
8.3 In-service monitoring
8.3.1 Should the aircraft have flown in the "Water Bomber" version with the "horizontal stabilizer
angle" installed, the operator must comply with the following rule:
- For the STARFLEX rotor hubs (all part numbers) and for the star-to-mast attachment
bolts (all part numbers), each flying hour must be multiplied by the factor 3.
(One flying hour in the "Water Bomber" configuration with the horizontal stabilizer
angle installed equals three flying hours in the clean configuration).
8.3.2 Cycle counting
Refer to paragraph 5.3.2.
8.3.3 Documentation
All operation in the "Water Bomber" configuration must be recorded on the follow-up
documents of the components in question.
