Corrosion 

1. PLANNING INFORMATION 

1.A. EFFECTIVITY 

1.A.1. Helicopters/installed equipment 

Helicopters equipped with external life rafts in the footsteps, with junction units 

with Part Number (MP/N) 200197 or 200188 (P/N 704A341302.48 or 704A341302.30). 

1.A.2. Non-installed equipment 

On junction units with Part Numbers (MP/N) 200197 and 200188 (P/N 704A341302.48 and 704A341302.30). 

1.B. ASSOCIATED REQUIREMENTS 

Not applicable. 

1.C. REASON 

During the maintenance operation scheduled at 600 flying hours or 24 months on the external life rafts 

located in the footstep, the life raft deployment test carried out by the operator by pulling the LH internal 

deployment handle did not function correctly. 

Investigations revealed the presence of corrosion inside the LH junction unit MP/N 200197. The deployment 

handle was blocked due to this corrosion. 

Consequently, pending a definitive solution and in order to prevent any risk of blockage in the external life 

raft deployment control system, Airbus Helicopters makes compliance with the instructions of this ALERT 

SERVICE BULLETIN mandatory, except for paragraph 3.D. 

Revision 1 does not affect compliance with Revision 0 of this ALERT SERVICE BULLETIN.

4.B. ACCEPTABLE TENSILE LOADS 

During compliance with MET Work Card 25.69.01.501: 

- For helicopters PRE MOD 0745C89 (Junction unit MP/N 200188): 

. A tensile load of between 15 DaN (33.721 lbf) and 17 DaN (38.217 lbf) is acceptable. 

- For helicopters POST MOD 0745C89 (Junction unit MP/N 200197): 

. The loads specified on the Work Card remain unchanged. Comply with the Work Card as is.
