the low fuel pressure switch and chamber of the HMU body.
If any parts from the low fuel pressure switch are found missing, or found in the HMU
chamber, replace the HMU with a new or overhauled HMU which is fitted with an INLHC low fuel pressure switch.
If no parts are found missing, replace the low fuel pressure switch with an IN-LHC low
fuel pressure switch.
3. If a IN-LHC low fuel pressure switch P/N 9 550 17 199 0 or P/N 9 550 17 913 0 is

If the P3 air pipe is found damaged, install a serviceable P3 air pipe and determine
that the distance between P3 air pipe and RH rear half-wall is equal to or greater than
0.5 mm per the instructions in Turbomeca MSB N° 319 75 4810 before further flight.
2. After an engine has been embodied with a RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 008 0,
then a RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 82 40 shall not be installed on that engine.
3. A RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 82 40 shall not be installed on an engine, or an
engine with a RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 82 40 shall not be installed on a
helicopter, unless in compliance with the requirements of this AD.
Note 2:
The installation of a serviceable P3 air pipe on an engine and determination that the
distance between the P3 air pipe and RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 82 40 is equal to
or greater than 0.5 mm, is a terminating action for the repetitive inspections for that
engine.
Note 3:
The modification of an engine by installation of a RH rear half-wall P/N 0319 99 008 0
is a terminating action for the repetitive inspections for that engine.

EC 130 B4, AS 350 C3 helicopters and Changue Z11 helicopters.
Requirement:
To prevent power turbine (PT) blade failure accomplish the following:
1. Review the aircraft records and determine if the M04 Power turbine wheel
assembly is fitted with a PT blade P/N 2 292 81 A01 0 and S/N 102782 through to
120230, or S/N 120293 through to 120390. The instructions to determine the S/N of
the module M04 PT blades is provided in paragraph 2B(1)(a) of Turboméca MSB
A292 72 2842 version A.
If an affected blade is found fitted, record the blade life limit of 5000 cycles for that PT
blade in the module M04 logbook and the engine logbook per the instructions in
paragraph 2.B.(1)(b) of MSB A292 72 2842 version A, and
Before accumulating 5000 cycles on the PT blade since first installation on the engine,
accomplish one of the following actions per the instructions in paragraphs 2.B.(1)(b)
and 2.B.(2) of MSB A292 72 2842 version A:
•
Replace the PT blade with a serviceable PT blade, or
•
Replace the module M04 with a module M04 with serviceable PT blades, or
•
Replace the PT wheel assembly with a PT wheel assembly fitted with
serviceable PT blades.

Note 1:
This AD supersedes DCA/TUR/53 to introduce Turboméca, S.A. MSB No. 292 73

turbo-shaft engines, all S/N not embodied with Turboméca modification TU360.
Note 1:
DCA/TUR/82 supersedes DCA/TUR/5B to introduce the requirement to determine the
engine history and operating conditions of the engine. The AD also introduces a
repetitive cleaning of the shaft. The embodiment of Turboméca modification TU360
(which can be done during overhaul) is a terminating action for the AD requirements.
Requirement:
The accumulation of mineral or chemical particles in the turbine shaft could occur
when the engine is operated in a dusty environment. This may result in an unbalance
gas generator rotating assembly which could damage the rear bearing, and result in
an in-flight loss of engine power. To prevent this, accomplish the inspections and
corrective actions specified in EASA AD 2012-0071.
