SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2018-0256, dated November 28, 2018
(``EASA AD 2018-0256'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A320-214, A320-232, A320-233,
A321-211 and A321-231 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During acceptance test of a RAT actuator P/N [part number]
764711C at the manufacturer's facility, it failed to extend.
Investigation results revealed that the actuator outer cylinder had
not been properly de-burred in accordance with the manufacturing
specifications. This caused blockage of the hydraulic circuit by
metallic parts, preventing the RAT from extending.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of RAT
deployment when required, possibly resulting in reduced control of
the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued the SB
[Airbus Service Bulletin A320-29-1175, Revision 01, dated February
16, 2018], identifying the affected parts and providing instructions
for replacement, and Hamilton Sundstrand, manufacturer of the RAT
actuator, issued the repair SB [UTC

Aerospace Systems Service Bulletin ERPS08A-29-6, dated August 29,
2016] providing instructions for repair and reidentification.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of the affected parts with serviceable parts.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2018-0256 describes procedures for replacing affected RAT
actuators with serviceable RAT actuators. This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section, and it is publicly available through the EASA
website.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced
above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2018-0256 described previously. This AD also requires sending the
inspection results to Airbus SAS.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a process to
use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information for
compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. As a result,
EASA AD 2018-0256 will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final
rule. This AD would, therefore, require compliance with the provisions
specified in EASA AD 2018-0256, except for any differences identified
as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Service information
specified in EASA AD 2018-0256 that is required for compliance with
EASA AD 2018-0256 will be available on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
1065 after the FAA final rule is published.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because failure to deploy the RAT during certain emergency conditions
for generation of hydraulic or electrical power may result in reduced
control of the airplane. Therefore, we find good cause that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition,
for the reasons stated above, we find that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2018-1065; Product
Identifier 2018-NM-170-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD based on
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 7 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 work-hours x $85 per hour = $935..........................              $0             $935           $6,545
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,445.              $0           $1,445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the on-condition reporting requirement in this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of reporting the replacement on U.S. operators to be $85 per
product.
    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all known costs in our cost
estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing

instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the collection of
information. Therefore, all reporting associated with this AD is
mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA at
800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Rockwell Automation,
Inc., To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $1.00 Par Value, (Including the
Associated Preferred Share Purchase Rights) From Listing and
Registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. File No. 1-12383

December 8, 2005.
    On December 1, 2005, Rockwell Automation, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $1.00 par value (including
the associated Preferred Share Purchase Rights) (``Security''), from
listing and

registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer adopted a
resolution on September 14, 2005 to withdraw the Security from the PCX.
The Issuer stated decided to withdraw the Security from PCX because:
(i) The trading volume in the Security on PCX is very low and the costs
of maintaining the listing are no longer justified; (ii) delisting the
Security will enable the Issuer to reduce significantly administrative
time and costs associated with the listing, corporate governance, and
annual certification requirements of PCX; and (iii) there is little
likelihood that the Issuer will need to raise capital through the
Exchange in the future. The Issuer believes that delisting from PCX
will cause no material inconvenience to its shareowners and investors
because the Security will continue to be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'').
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with the
applicable rules of PCX by providing PCX with the required documents
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on
PCX.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Security from listing on PCX and shall not affect its continued listing
on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under section 12(b) of the
Act.\3\

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Honeywell International, the manufacturer of the SPZ200
autopilot system installed on the EADS-CASA C-212 series aircraft,
has identified a series of servo-motors * * * designed for use in
the SPZ200 autopilot system, whose failure can lead to a potential
unsafe flight condition. * * *
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is failure of the servo-motors, which could result
in roll oscillations or possible hard-over failures when the autopilot
is engaged. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 17, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 17,
2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2009 (74 FR
34520). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Honeywell International, the manufacturer of the SPZ200
autopilot system installed on the EADS-CASA C-212 series aircraft,
has identified a series of servo-motors, P/N [part number] 4006719-
904 and P/N 4006719-913, designed for use in the SPZ200 autopilot
system, whose failure can lead to a potential unsafe flight
condition. To address and correct this situation, Honeywell
International has published Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 4006719-22-
A0016 (Revised) dated 1 November 2004, that identifies the affected
servo-motors by serial number, recommending the removal of these
units from the aircraft and including modification instructions to
be accomplished prior to reinstallation.
    EADS-CASA has determined that the flight safety of the C-212
aircraft is at risk. Consequently, Boletin de Servicio (Service

Bulletin) SB-212-22-16 has been published to advise C-212 operators
of this condition and to recommend that the affected servo-motors
are modified or replaced with modified units.

    For the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires the
identification of the affected servo-motors and modification or
replacement with modified units.

The unsafe condition is failure of the servo-motors, which could result
in roll oscillations or possible hard-over failures when the autopilot
is engaged. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 26 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 5 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $10,400, or $400 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2009-20-10 Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA): Amendment 39-
16033. Docket No. FAA-2009-0611; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-165-
AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective November
17, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to CASA Model C-212-CB, C-212-CC, C-212-CD
and C-212-CE airplanes, all serial numbers; certificated in any
category; on which autopilot servo-drive actuators (servo-motors)
having part number (P/N) 4006719-904 or 4006719-913 are installed.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 22: Auto
flight.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Honeywell International, the manufacturer of the SPZ200
autopilot system installed on the EADS-CASA C-212 series aircraft,
has identified a series of servo-motors, P/N [part number] 4006719-
904 and P/N 4006719-913, designed for use in the SPZ200 autopilot
system, whose failure can lead to a potential unsafe flight
condition. To address and correct this situation, Honeywell
International has published Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 4006719-22-
A0016 (Revised) dated 1 November 2004, that identifies the affected
servo-motors by serial number, recommending the removal of these
units from the aircraft and including modification instructions to
be accomplished prior to reinstallation.
    EADS-CASA has determined that the flight safety of the C-212
aircraft is at risk. Consequently, Boletin de Servicio (Service
Bulletin) SB-212-22-16 has been published to advise C-212 operators
of this condition and to recommend that the affected servo-motors
are modified or replaced with modified units.
    For the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires the
identification of the affected servo-motors and modification or
replacement with modified units.

The unsafe condition is failure of the servo-motors, which could
result in roll oscillations or possible hard-over failures when the
autopilot is engaged.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.

    (1) Within 2 months after the effective date of this AD:
Identify affected servo-motors having P/N 4006719-904 and P/N

accordance with the instructions of EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-
212-22-16, dated March 13, 2006.
    (2) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install,
on any airplane, a servo-motor having P/N 4006719-904 or 4006719-
913, and any affected serial number identified in Honeywell Alert
Service Bulletin 4006719-22-A0016, Revision 001, dated November 1,
2004 (referenced in EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-212-22-16, dated
March 13, 2006, as the source of service information for
accomplishing the modification), unless it has been modified in
accordance with paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

    Note 1:  The 8 digit serial number specified in Honeywell Alert
Service Bulletin 4006719-22-A0016, Revision 001, dated November 1,
2004, is a combination date code and serial number. The format is as
follows: YYMMXXXX--YY is the year; MM is the month, and XXXX is a
sequential manufacturing serial number (e.g., a unit with number
0111XXXX was manufactured in November 2001).

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2019-0152-E, dated June 28,
2019, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters (AH),
formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Model EC 225 LP helicopters
with MGB part number (P/N) 332A325001.XX, P/N 332A325002.XX, or P/N
332A325003.XX equipped with main reduction gear module P/N
332A325011.XX, P/N 332A325012.XX, or P/N 332A325013.XX in post-mod 07-
53016 configuration installed, where XX represents any dash number, and
with RH free wheel shaft P/N 332A322191.20 (16-roller free wheel)
installed. EASA advises of a report of wear of the ramps and a broken
roller cage of the RH free wheel shaft that were discovered during
overhaul of an MGB. EASA states an investigation to determine the root
cause of the occurrence is ongoing. EASA advises that this condition,
if not corrected, could lead to reduced capacity to transfer one engine
inoperative (OEI) power delivered by the right side engine following an
event of in-flight shut down of the left side engine, resulting in
reduced control of the helicopter.
    Accordingly, the EASA AD requires repetitive replacement of the
affected MGBs, installing placards that specify an operational
limitation for OEI training flights, and introduces conditions for
installing a replacement MGB. EASA states its AD is considered an
interim action and further AD action may follow.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA of the
unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. The FAA is issuing this AD
after evaluating all information provided by EASA and determining the
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin No.
04A016, Revision 1, dated June 28, 2019, which specifies procedures to
determine the total hours TIS of the free wheel shafts, a life limit
schedule and instructions to replace the MGB or RH free wheel shaft,
and instructions to install one or two labels (placards) in view of
both pilots about OEI training procedures.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires determining the total hours TIS of each free wheel
shaft. For the purpose of this AD, if the total hours TIS of the RH and
LH free wheel shafts are different, the greater number of total hours
TIS will be considered as the RH free wheel shaft total hours TIS. If
the RH free wheel shaft has accumulated 1,000 or more total hours TIS,
or before the RH free wheel shaft exceeds 1,000 total hours TIS, this
AD requires replacing the MGB with an airworthy MGB or replacing the RH
free wheel shaft. This AD also requires installing placard(s) in full
view of both pilots and revising the RFM for your helicopter with OEI
training procedures pertaining to the ``TRAINING IDLE'' switches. As an
option, this AD specifies installing alternate MGB configurations that
would constitute terminating action for the requirements of this AD.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires repetitive replacement of the MGB, whereas
this AD requires an initial replacement of the MGB instead. The FAA
plans to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to give the public an
opportunity to comment on this longer-term requirement. This AD
requires revising the RFM for your helicopter, whereas the EASA AD does
not.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. Repetitively
replacing the MGB at a longer interval is also necessary. However, the
planned compliance time for the repetitive replacement would allow
enough time to provide notice and opportunity for prior public comment
on the merits of the replacement.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 23 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85
per work-hour.
    Determining the hours TIS of each free wheel shaft takes about 0.25
work-hour, for an estimated cost of $21 per helicopter and $483 for the
U.S. fleet. Installing placard(s) and revising the RFM for your
helicopter takes about 0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per
helicopter and $989 for the U.S. fleet. Replacing an MGB takes about 40
work-hours and parts cost about $850,000 (overhauled), for an estimated
cost of $853,400.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause'' finds that
those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the
rulemaking.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the required corrective actions must be completed within 10
hours TIS. Therefore, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are impracticable and contrary to public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for the reason(s) stated above, the FAA
finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making
this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
    The FAA prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

P/N 332A325013.XX, with ``XX'' denoting any dash number.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as wear of the ramps of the
right-hand side (RH) free wheel shaft. During an in-flight shutdown
of the left-hand side (LH) engine, this condition could result in
reduced ability to transfer one engine inoperative (OEI) power from
the RH engine to the main rotor, and subsequent reduced control of
the helicopter.

(c) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective November 5, 2019.

(d) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(e) Required Actions

    (1) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS), determine the total
hours TIS of the RH and LH free wheel shafts since new or last RH
free wheel shaft replacement during overhaul. For the purpose of
this AD, if the total hours TIS of the RH and LH free wheel shafts
are different, use the greater number of total hours TIS as the RH
free wheel shaft total hours TIS.
    (i) If the total hours TIS of the RH free wheel shaft is 1,000
or more hours TIS, before further flight, replace the MGB or replace
the RH free wheel shaft under the supervision of an Airbus
Helicopter Specialist that is qualified for this replacement.
    (ii) If the total hours TIS of the RH free wheel shaft is less
than 1,000 hours TIS, before exceeding 1,000 hours TIS, replace the
MGB or replace the RH free wheel shaft under the supervision of an
Airbus Helicopter Specialist that is qualified for this replacement.
    (2) Within 10 hours TIS:
    (i) Install one or two self-adhesive placards on the instrument
panel in full view of the pilot and co-pilot with 6-millimeter red
letters on a white background that state the information contained
