| 03-31849 | Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Model A109E Helicopters | Rule | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109E helicopters. This action requires certain inspections of the rod-end of the main rotor head damper for freedom of movement, and depending on the torque required to move the rod-end, either further inspection for a crack or replacing the rod- end. This amendment is prompted by reports of rod-end fractures due to fatigue failure resulting in increased helicopter vibrations. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the rod-end, extreme vibrations, and a subsequent forced landing or loss of control of the helicopter. | 2003-12-31 | 2003 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/12/31/03-31849/airworthiness-directives-agusta-spa-model-a109e-helicopters | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-12-31/pdf/03-31849.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta S.p.A.
