FAA Follows EASA with Stricter AW169 Emergency AD
The AD focuses on the tailrotor feedback lever link.

The FAA has issued a more comprehensive Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD 2018-23-52) to cover Leonardo AW169 and AW189 twin-engine helicopter tail rotor servo-actuator assemblies, following the issuance of an EASA Emergency AD earlier this week. The FAA said it “determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type design.”
