Description

This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) will enable the use of vibration health monitoring (VHM) systems to be a more integral part of the continued airworthiness regime of Part 29 large rotorcraft. The NPA will also ensure that better and updated guidance is provided for the design as well as the routine and effective in-service use of these systems. This will allow VHM systems to aid in reducing the risk for errors or oversights in the maintenance of rotor and rotor drive units. “Current acceptable means of compliance are not sufficient to ensure that VHM systems can be used to optimize maintenance interventions for certain rotorcraft,” EASA said. Comments are due by Oct. 11, 2022.
