    Uploaded by

    Yuri Silva
    This EASA emergency airworthiness directive requires inspecting and repairing lubrication ducts in the reduction gear box module (M05) of certain Arriel 1 series turboshaft engines. Non-compliant ducts may lead to oil leakage and engine failure. The inspection and repair must be completed within 3 months. Six additional affected modules were identified and an alternative steel plug repair method was approved. The directive supersedes an earlier version and operators must comply with inspection intervals until the permanent repair is performed.

    EASA AD No.

    : 2009-0245-E

    EASA EMERGENCY AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE


    AD No.: 2009-0245-E

    Date: 10 November 2009

    Note: This Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in


    accordance with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its
    Member States and of the European third countries that participate in the activities of
    EASA under Article 66 of that Regulation

    This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301,
    the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person
    may operate an aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD unless otherwise
    specified by the Agency [EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC
    216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption].

    Type Approval Holder’s Name : Type/Model designation(s) :


    Turboméca ARRIEL 1 series turboshaft engines

    TCDS Number : EASA.E.073

    Foreign AD : Not applicable

    Supersedure : This AD supersedes EASA AD 2009-0117-E, dated 02 June 2009.

    Engine - Module M05 (Reduction Gear Box) Lubrication Duct –


    ATA 72
    Inspection / Repair

    Manufacturer(s): Turboméca S.A.

    Applicability: Arriel 1A1, 1A2, 1B, 1C, 1C1, 1C2, 1D, 1D1, 1E2, 1K, 1K1, 1S and 1S1
    turbo-shaft engines, all serial numbers if modified by TU332 and fitted with
    Modules M05 (Reduction Gear Box) as identified in figure 1 of Turboméca
    Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) A292 72 0825 version B.
    These engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to, the
    following helicopters:
    Eurocopter AS350B/BA/BB/B1/B2, EC145/MBB-BK117-C1 and AS365N,
    Agusta A109K2, Sikorsky S-76A+ and S-76A++.

    Reason: Non compliant lubrication ducts, located in Module M05 (Reduction Gear
    Box) front casing, may have been installed during production and repair.
    Non-compliant lubrication ducts are potentially located in modules M05
    listed in the Mandatory Service Bulletin A292 72 0825 version B.
    This non compliance may lead to a loss of the lubrication duct plug,
    followed by a quick draining of the oil tank without indication to the cockpit
    through low oil pressure warning. This could lead to an uncommanded in-
    flight shut down. On a single-engine helicopter, the result may be an
    emergency autorotation landing.
    In addition, an oil leak following the loss of the lubrication duct plug could
    lead to an engine fire.

    the last flight of the day, as defined in Chapter 05-20 of the applicable
    Arriel 1 Engine Maintenance Manual, paying particular attention to the
    M05 lubrication duct per figure 2 of Turboméca MSB A292 72 0825
