What to do
Affected operators and maintenance providers should refer to the Safran Helicopter Engines or Turboméca Service Bulletin specified in TCDS EASA.E.006 for instructions on restoring or verifying engine conformity. No new compliance actions or deadlines are imposed by this cancellation notice. For technical questions, stakeholders should contact Safran Helicopter Engines customer support or EASA Safety Information Section.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2007-0084-CN cancels the previous EASA AD 2007-0084 concerning MAKILA 2A engines formerly used by non-civil operators, such as military users. These engines are commonly installed on Airbus Helicopters EC 225 LP models. The cancellation removes the AD that addressed the restoration of these engines to civil aviation conformity.
What changed
This cancellation notice officially withdraws EASA AD 2007-0084 and its correction, both issued in 2007. Instead of an AD, the instructions for ensuring the airworthiness of ex-military MAKILA 2A engines have been incorporated into a Service Bulletin referenced in the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS). Consequently, no further AD action is required for these engines.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation simplifies regulatory compliance by removing the AD requirement for MAKILA 2A engines previously used outside civil aviation oversight. Operators and maintenance organizations can now rely on the Service Bulletin referenced in the TCDS for guidance, streamlining maintenance and certification processes. This reduces administrative burden while maintaining safety standards.
