1.A.2 Non-installed equipment and parts

Not applicable.

1.B ASSOCIATED REQUIREMENTS

None.

1.C REASON
The currently installed locking mechanisms for the sliding doors have door caution
indications installed. During flights, the door caution indications may give false
signals to the crew, due to the movement and vibration of the sliding doors.
With this SB, Airbus Helicopters offers the installation of new door caution
indications that will be independent from the movements and vibrations of the
sliding doors during flight.

1.D DESCRIPTION
Remove the door caution indication. Modify the cabin frame and the adjacent
helicopter structure. Install the mechanism assemblies. Do the functional test of the
sliding door proximity switches.
