AD Issued for AStar/TwinStar

The FAA has adopted a new Airworthiness Directive (AD 2025-09-13) for some Airbus Helicopters Models AS350 and AS355. This AD was prompted by a report of a sliding door that was locked in the open position detaching from the helicopter during flight. This AD requires modifying certain upper rail rollers, installing a label on each sliding door, and prohibits installing affected upper rail rollers or a door having an affected upper rail roller. 

This AD follows a European Union Aviation Safety Agency AD (EASA AD 2023-0131), which was issued July 3, 2023.
