continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH: 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0779; Project 

Identifier MCAI–2020–01505–R. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by October 29, 

2021. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters 

Deutschland GmbH Model MBB–BK 117 D– 

2 helicopters, certificated in any category, as 

identified in European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD 2020–0246, dated 

November 10, 2020 (EASA AD 2020–0246). 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) 

Code: 2597, Equip/Furnishing System 

Wiring. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

chafing marks on a wiring harness near the 

locking washer of the lateral control rod. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address chafing 

marks on a wiring harness near the locking 

washer of the lateral control rod. The unsafe 

condition, if not addressed, could result in 

in-flight loss of the hoist load and possible 

personal injury, or could generate a burning 

smell and possible need for the flight crew 

to implement the applicable emergency 

procedure. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, EASA AD 2020–0246. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2020–0246 

(1) Where EASA AD 2020–0246 requires 

compliance in terms of flight hours, this AD 

requires using hours time-in-service. 

(2) Where EASA AD 2020–0246 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(3) Where Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020– 

0246 specifies to update the Aircraft 

Maintenance Programme (AMP) with certain 

tasks included in the service information 

referenced by EASA AD 2020–0246, this AD 

does not include that requirement. 

(4) This AD does not require the 

‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 2020–0246. 

(i) Special Flight Permit 

Special flight permits may be issued in 

accordance with 14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199 

to operate the helicopter to a location where 

the actions of this AD can be performed, 

provided that no debris from chafing is 

visible that would allow jamming or fouling 

of the flight controls, the chafing does not 

interfere with the flight controls by jamming 

or fouling, and the systems impacted by the 

wiring harness are rendered inoperable by 

collaring the circuit breaker. 

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In 

accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the International Validation 

Branch, send it to the attention of the person 

identified in paragraph (k)(2) of this AD. 

Information may be emailed to: 9-AVS-AIR730-AMOC@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/ 

certificate holding district office.
