INTRODUCTION
B. The AMM contains maintenance, inspection and repair data for the Operational and
Intermediate levels only.
Whenever the repair criteria defined in the AMM are exceeded, please contact the
EUROCOPTER network for the definition of a repair, if applicable, or the decision to discard the
component.
C. The following publications are associated with the operation and maintenance of the helicopter:
For structural repair requirements, these levels are defined by the letters "O", "I", "I+" and "D":
- "O" LEVEL (Operation Level): This refers to implementation of simple structural repairs, carried
out during line maintenance by the crew and/or line mechanics using limited equipment, in order
to maintain the operational capability of the aircraft.
- "I" LEVEL (Intermediate level): This refers to implementation of small repairs on or out of the
aircraft, in a repair workshop using fixed facilities, by skilled, trained and qualified personnel, in
order to restore the operational capability of the aircraft or equipment.
NOTE
For the "O" and "I" levels, repairs may be carried out
in accordance with the instructions of EUROCOPTER
publications: AMM / SRM / MTC.
The rules defined for the "O" level are applicable to the "I" level.
- "I+" LEVEL: This refers to implementation of repairs on the primary structure or on stressed
composite parts, with the approval of the EUROCOPTER Technical Support Department,
. In a Repair Center mandatorily approved by EUROCOPTER,
. Or with mandatory Technical Assistance from EUROCOPTER if the work is carried out of a
INTRODUCTION Page 1

. Or with the assistance of a EUROCOPTER Approved Repair Center if the work is performed out of
a EUROCOPTER Approved Repair Center.
NOTE
The rules defined for the "I" level are applicable to the "I+" level.
B. Advice to operators
Paper manuals that have not been kept up to date must not be used for helicopter
maintenance. They shall be destroyed on the spot or clearly marked "documentation not up to
date".
The contents of the paper manuals must be checked periodically. The revision status of the
paper manuals is covered by a Documentation Revision Status Sheet that is issued at regular
intervals by the helicopter manufacturer.
A paper manual that has not been updated is often unusable and its replacement with a new
manual is the most cost effective solution.

5. Temporary Revision
A. General
Between two Normal Revisions, EUROCOPTER may need to make modifications to points of
the manual considered important; this will be done through temporary revisions. The Temporary
Revision deals with information which requires quick distribution and which cannot wait until the
next normal revision is issued.
The new, revised or deleted Documentary Units (DU) are issued on yellow color paper. The
changes are indicated by a vertical line in the margin.
Temporary Revisions are identified by the number of the next Normal Revision followed by a
letter (taken in alphabetical order) and a date code.
The "Update instructions" section gives a list of the highlights of the Temporary Revision. This
information is issued with each new Temporary Revision (TR).
The List of Effective Pages of the Temporary Revision (LOEDU-TR) identifies the chapters
modified by all the Temporary Revisions. The date code associated with the Documentary Unit
corresponds to the date of the Temporary Revision at which it was modified. This list is issued
with each new Temporary Revision and supersedes the previous one. It must be inserted at the
beginning of the manual in the preliminary Documentary Units and kept until the next Normal
Revision (RN).
The List of Effective Pages of the chapters "XX-LOEDU-TR" identifies the new, revised or
deleted Documentary Units of the chapters affected by the Temporary Revisions. The date code
associated with the chapter corresponds to the date of the TR at which it was modified. Only
the List of Effective Pages of the modified chapters are issued. These lists must be inserted at
the beginning of the chapters concerned and they cancel and supersede the previous ones.
They must be retained until the next RN.
- For a new Documentary Unit: the new yellow-colored Documentary Unit must be inserted
directly in the manual.
- For a revised Documentary Unit: all the pages of the yellow-colored revised Documentary
Unit cancel and supersede all the pages of the white-colored Documentary Unit
concerned. This white-colored Documentary Unit must be removed from the manual.
- For a deleted Documentary Unit: only the first page of the Documentary Unit that must be
removed is issued on yellow-colored paper through the Temporary Revision. This page
bears the word "DELETED". It cancels and supersedes all the pages of the white-colored
Documentary Unit concerned. This white-colored Documentary Unit must be removed
from the manual.

6. Erratum
This procedure is used to correct composition errors that do not in any way affect the technical data
involving flight safety and the certification of the aircraft. This procedure is used to correct these
errors rapidly and is completely separated from the revisions.
The date code marked on the replacement page is underlined but it remains unchanged.
Consequently, the page enclosed with the erratum page must replace the page issued previously.
7. Preprint
Preprint is a preliminary edition, which is used to transmit an update of the technical documentation
in advance of the normal process of management and publication of the information.
- to reply to a customer after he has reported irregularities that require changes to the technical
publications,
- to introduce new parts and/or systems not included as part of technical publications supplied by
EUROCOPTER.
EUROCOPTER approves the contents of the data transmitted by Preprint.
NOTE
In any case no preliminary edition will remain as is. It will always be followed by the standard
procedure of revision (TR and RN). The DUs must be removed by the customer upon receipt of the
corresponding DU TR and/or DU RN which take into account the modifications transmitted through
Preprint.
- Part I of the manual contains all the descriptive type data for all the systems. This Part I is
called Systems Description Section (SDS). It is physically separated from Part II and is totally
self-contained.

- The higher level represents a set of information of the same type (e.g.: General, General
Description, Detailed Description, etc.). All the illustrations of a "Documentary Unit" are grouped
at the end of this Documentary Unit.
Each UD is broken down into subsets.
These subsets represent a group of paragraphs.
Each subset begins with a title (Introduction, Description, Characteristics, Operation, etc.).
- The first column "Failure Indication" gives a detailed description of the fault.
- The second column "Probable Cause" lists the possible causes of the fault, in the logical
fault isolation order.
- The third column "Corrective action" indicates the action(s) to be taken to correct each
possible cause of the failures listed.
B. Maintenance tasks
These topics describe the processes which allow the ground maintenance personnel to carry
out the maintenance, removal/installation, adjustment, check operations, etc.
When the task is given for reference, the Chapter - Section - Subject number is followed by the
task number:
INTRODUCTION Page 6
2011.11.28
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL AS550
If an instruction requires the execution of a task, its reference number appears between
brackets at the end of the instruction.
Depending on aircraft configuration, the reference number of the task may be preceded by a
configuration number. The selection of this configuration number is the responsibility of the
operator.
Example: 62-21-00, 4-1a Removal - Main rotor hub (PRE MOD 07xxxx)
Example: 62-21-00, 4-1b Removal - Main rotor hub (POST MOD 07xxxx)
These special tools are listed in the ICO (or in Chapter 13 of the IPC).
Certain tools (not listed in the ICO (or in Chapter 13 of the IPC) and not normally available to
the maintenance teams) are identified by the term "Commercial" to indicate that they are
purchased "off the shelf".
- List of Materials
This is the list of the consumable materials required to carry out the Task. They are identified
with a "CM" code and their description.
Details of the products that correspond to these codes are given in Chapter 01 of the AMM.
This chapter describes the "NATO" code, the different references of the French, German and
US Specifications and the list of the source products. It also refers to the implementation
procedures described in the Standard Practices Manual (MTC) for certain products.
Certain materials are identified by the term "Commercial". This means that they can be

- the first and second columns give the position of the part (text/figure/set),
- the third column gives the name of the part,
- the fourth column gives the part number (MP/N).
- Procedure
The procedure is described in the form of a logical sequence of phases, broken down as
follows:
(1) phase
1 sub-phase of (a)
a sub-phase of 1
The figures and tables are numbered in chronological order so that they can be used for
several phases inside the same Task.
All the figures inside a Task are gathered at the end of the Task.
The items are identified in a continuous ascending order starting with Item 1 on Set 1 and
finishing with Item n on Set m. If a part appears on several figures/sets, it shall always have the
same item number.
A figure can include several sets. In this case, the figure number remains the same, and only
the set number is changed.
Furthermore, the items are defined on all the sets of the figure.

17. Glossary
ATTACHMENT
The visual check is carried out on the attachment points of a component (condition of the safetying,
marks on self-locking nuts). It may be necessary to complete this examination with a tactile check
(manual application of a load on the component to detect any fault in the assembly).
CHECK
A check consists in comparing the measurement of a magnitude (force, time, pressure, temperature,
length, etc.) with a theoretical value. The resulting action consists in bringing back this magnitude to
a value that ranges within its tolerances, through adjustment or a maintenance action (e.g.: check of
tightening torques, check of play, etc.).
CLEANLINESS
The cleanliness check consists in making sure that there is no foreign matter, no fluid seepage or
splashes and no "fouled" areas likely to conceal a fault.
CONDITION
The visual examination concerns the general external condition of a component and the points that
could modify its initial condition (deformation, breaks, cracks, scores, corrosion, signs of overheating
or wear).
DETAILED INSPECTION
EXAMINATION
A visual (or tactile) evaluation of the condition of a component or an assembly to detect faults likely
to jeopardize its serviceability, without using special techniques or tooling (e.g.: examination of
magnetic plugs, etc.).
FUNCTIONAL TEST
This test is carried out to determine whether one or more functions of a system or a component lie
within the specified limits. This test is usually carried out without component removal.
LOCKING
Correctly lock the assembly and/or make sure that it is correctly locked. To lock cowlings, doors,
hatches, panels, caps, etc., ensure correct contact and position. Make sure that the profiles are
aligned. Engage the closing and locking system of the handles, locks, Dzus fasteners, Camloc
fasteners, etc. Make sure that their closed and locked position is correct, safety system in place
according to the position indicators (marking, aligned index marks). Confirm that the cowlings are
locked by trying to open them.
NO ABNORMAL PLAY
Unless specific instructions are given, play is not to be measured during the flight-related checks.
However, in certain cases, abnormal play can be detected by manually moving the component to be
checked in different directions.
INTRODUCTION Page 21
2011.11.28
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL AS550
OPERATIONAL CHECK
This is a check to determine if a system or an assembly is in good condition and operating correctly.
PIPES
The examination of pipes consists in checking their condition (wear due to friction, tears) and
particularly the crimping of end-fittings at the unions. The examination also includes the routing of the
pipes (attachment and holding components, correct clearances).
This examination also consists in checking for actual or possible friction between the pipes and any
other item.
TEST
A test is carried out using the appropriate test equipment or system to make sure that a system or
component is operating correctly.
TIGHTNESS
The visual check is carried out to detect any incipient leakage or a fluid leak, particularly at the drain
holes, the unions, the mating surfaces and control rods of hydraulic components.
VISUAL INSPECTION
This is a general visual check to detect any visible defects on an assembly, if necessary using a
means of access to reach the area to be inspected.
WIRING
The examination of the wiring consists in checking its condition, routing, bulkhead feedthroughs,
attachment, condition and locking of its connectors, condition and attachment of the bonding braids,
electrical modules and relay bases, absence of actual or possible friction between wiring and any
other item.

E. Procedure
(1) Definitions:
(a) Seepage:
The area in which you find seepage is "damp", but there are no oil "drops".
There are signs of a leak and the quantity of oil is not negligible (as with seepage).
The oil may collect around the area but there are no other signs of a definite leak
(no oil drops when the engine is stopped, no consumption that can be measured). It
is possibly "accumulated" seepage or oil from another source.
(c) Definite leak:
a After you stop the engine, you can see an oil flow (drops, a trickle of oil).
b Oil collects and can clearly be seen to come from a point on the gearbox.
It is also clear that it is not the result of accumulated seepage.
a The oil level must not decrease to become less than the minimum level:
b When you add oil, the measured oil consumption must not be more than:
(2) Procedures:
(a) If you find seepage:
There is no special procedure: the daily checks include checks to make sure that
there are no leaks from the gearboxes.
But we recommend that you clean the seepage areas regularly so that the oil does
not collect and give signs of a leak.
Refer to Section 8 of the FLM Section 8 and do a ground run for approximately 15
minutes.
If you find a definite oil leak, do the procedure given in paragraph c).
If there is no oil flow, continue flights but be very careful when you examine this
area during the daily checks.
(c) If you find a definite leak:
There are three types of procedures and each one is related to a type of leakage:
a Type A procedure:
b Type B procedure:

E. Procedure
(1) Preservation
(a) Preservation is the operation which involves protecting the aircraft and its
components from physical-chemical alterations due to corrosive action of the
atmosphere that is most often characterised by:
- Humidity.
- Air charged with acid vapory.
- Marine atmosphere.
- Sun rays.
- Temperature variations.
When the aircraft grounding time (T time) is greater than 1 month it must be placed in
one of the following configurations:
NOTE
NOTE
The short term preservation configuration involves protecting against alterations and
thus affects aircraft availability.
This operation is performed when the aircraft grounding time is more than 6 months.
- The standard long term preservation is different from standard short term
preservation in that all the mechanical assemblies are removed from the
aircraft and preserved in containers.
- Aircraft on which long term preservation is applied are not likely to be used
immediately given the removal and protection operations to which they are
subject.
(d) Preservation inspection periodicity
1 Full aircraft
The assemblies removed from the aircraft are preserved depending on their
grounding time.
