EASA 2018-0140R1

Supersedes but retains requirements of Emergency AD 2018-0140-E, which mandated removal of the hoist arm and introduced an alternative method of compliance by amending the applicable rotorcraft flight manual and installation of a placard prohibiting the use of the jettison system of the right-hand side lateral sliding plug door. Updated AD permits performing a newly developed modification that eliminates the interference between the hoist arm and the right-hand lateral sliding plug door median fitting, which allows unobstructed jettisoning of that door.
