## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Eurocopter France Model SA-366G1 helicopters. This action requires initial and repetitive inspections of the tail rotor blade Kevlar tie-bar (Kevlar tie-bar) for delaminations. This amendment is prompted by a report of delamination of a Kevlar tie-bar. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect delaminations of the Kevlar tie-bar, that could result in loss of anti-torque function and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
