Action
Final rule.
Summary
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Leonardo S.p.a. Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters. This AD was prompted by two events of uncommanded emergency flotation system (EFS) deployment during flight. This AD requires replacing certain part- numbered EFS control panels and prohibits installing them. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
