Service Reliabilityfrom FAA SDR (Service Difficulty Reports)
* Structural ATA chapter (53). Verb-based propensity is suppressed because "REPAIRED" in the SDR text typically refers to the airframe being repaired around the part, not the part itself. FAA K-code component-change rate is the honest signal.

Directional indicator only. Reflects what operators reported to the FAA when a difficulty was logged — not a fleet-normalized failure rate or a cost-based BER. Use alongside operator-specific data.
Airworthiness Directive coverage
FAA / EASA public regulatory data
- FAAAD 2021-16-13effective Sep 22, 2021Prohibition
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Leonardo S.p.a. (Leonardo) Model A109S and AW109SP helicopters with a certain part-numbered vertical fin vibration absorber installation installed. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the vertical fin vibration absorber installation and the surrounding structure and depending on the inspection results, removing certain parts from service. This AD also prohibits installing certain part-numbered vertical fin vibration absorber installations on any helicopter. This AD was prompted by a report of cracks and damage detected on the vertical fin absorber installation and surrounding structure during scheduled inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Directives citing this part number in the FAA / EASA regulatory corpus we have processed — not a complete historical AD list. An AD is a compliance requirement that drives scheduled work (inspections, replacements, modifications) on the fleets that carry the part; a directive naming this PN as the replacement part is install demand, not an action against it — and none of this is a prediction that the part will fail.
