Unsafe Condition

Clogging of the preference injector, if not detected and corrected, and if combined with a sharp reduction in the fuel flow during the flight after a pilot command, could lead to a flameout in the combustion chamber, which could result in an uncommanded in-flight shutdown of the engine and reduced control of the helicopter.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Initial and repetitive non-extinguishing tests for engine flameout and replacement of the preference injector if necessary, a one-time modification (software upgrade) of the electronic engine control unit (EECU) and, for certain engines, repetitive replacements of the preference injector.
