Summary
Supersedes but retains requirements of AD 2008-24-04, which mandated repetitive inspections of the lubricating pump and checking the magnetic chip detector plug (chip detector) and the main gearbox (MGB) oil-sight glass. New AD allows the option of altering the MGB oil flow distribution as a terminating action for the inspections. Updated AD was prompted by an alteration developed by Airbus Helicopters of the MGB oil flow distribution that corrects the unsafe condition.
