. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to further cases of in

flight loss of the hoist load, possibly resulting in injury to persons on the ground or in a hoisting accident. To address this unsafe condition, EASA issued Emergency AD 2013

- 0065

- E to require identification of the installed hoist and, for affected hoist installations, a one - time load check test of the external ly mounted hoist

. Since issuance of EASA AD 2013

- 0065

- E, the risk assessment has been re

evaluated, and it w as determined that the hoist test must be accomplished earlier than specified in that AD

- E retain ed the requirements of EASA Emergency AD 2013

- 0065

- E, which was superseded, but required the hoist test before the next Human External Cargo (HEC) operation

. In addition, as no EASA approvals are known to exist for installation of an affected hoist on AB212, AB412 and A109 helicopters (all Models, except AW109SP), EASA Emergency AD 2013

- 0077

- E no longer applie d to those helicopters. Since issuance of EASA Emergency AD 2013

- 0077

- E, the FAA issued AD 2013

- 06

- 51 to require accomplishment of a similar hoist test to the one required by this AD. EASA decided to partially adopt FAA AD 2013

- 06

- 51, only for types for which the FAA is the State of Design Authority, i.e. Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation helicopters. For the reasons described above, this AD is revised to reduce its applicability (to withdraw Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation helicopters). This AD is still considered an interim action and further AD action may follow.
