AD NO.
2024-20-04
SUBJECT
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code: 2500, Cabin Equipment/Furnishing; and 2510, Flight Compartment Equipment.
APPLICABILITY
This AD applies to all helicopters, certificated in any category, with a restraint system with a Pacific Scientific Company rotary buckle assembly (buckle) part number (P/N) 1111475 (all dash numbers) or P/N 1111548-01 having a date of manufacture (DOM) between January 2012 and April 2013 inclusive, or an unknown DOM. These buckles may be installed on, but not limited to, Airbus Helicopters model helicopters. Note 1 to paragraph (c): The buckle may be included as a component of a different part-numbered restraint system assembly. Note 2 to paragraph (c): These buckles may also be installed on airplanes; however, the FAA determined that a longer compliance time to accomplish the required actions is allowable for buckles installed on airplanes. Accordingly, the FAA plans to publish a separate AD rulemaking to address all airplanes with an affected buckle installed.
