1 PRESENTATION OF CATALOGUE
A General Information
This catalogue, written by EUROCOPTER, details the spare parts (or tools in the tools catalog)
necessary to maintain the helicopter. The helicopter configuration taken into account in this
catalogue corresponds to the configuration of the delivered helicopter.
The Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC)/ Illustrated Tools Catalog (ITC) is updated once or twice
a year.
(*) The removable parts are package-jointed either with screws, removable bonding without
damaging the support, or with a few easily accessible rivets, often replaced due to the fragile
nature of their position.

For part 3 (Detailed part list), the code chapter-section-subject-figure will appear directly to the
left of each page number. More specifically:
- The illustration pages always begin on the back (G) at the number 0. In case of several
illustration pages, the following page is numbered 1 on the front (D) the next one is
numbered 2 on the back, and so on.
If the last illustration page is on the front, the back side is blank.
- The first page of the Detailed part list is always on the front (D) with an incremented
number from 1 in relation with the preceding illustration.
In case of several pages of Detailed part list, the following page is incremented from 1 at
the back (G).
If the last page is on the back, the following front side is left blank.
B BREAKDOWN SEQUENCE
(1) Indentation description
The detailed list breakdown is indented in a stepped down sequence to indicate item
relationship between the different parts, as follow.
It starts with the installation designation then details the assemblies and sub-assemblies.

They are indented at the same stage as the assembly they secure under the phrase
"attaching parts".
They are followed by the separation mark (dashes, asterisk, dashes) shown below.
Example:
. Support
. Screw
. Washer
. Nut

4 DATA DESCRIPTION
The following examples are fictitious.
The first line of this column shows the figure which illustrates the installation.
When the page is not large enough to illustrate the whole installation, one or several figures
are indicated immediately after the "basic figure". The figure numbers are the same but the
page numbers are incremental.
The following lines indicate the item numbers corresponding to the part illustrations.
The "DASH" (2) marked before the item number indicates that the part is not illustrated in the
figure.
Note 1 :Items are initially numbered in increments of 10. When a modification implies the
"ADDITION" of a part between two existing parts, this new part will be identified so that it may
be inserted between the other items. (3)
Note 2 :Some figures may be common to several IPC/ITC from the same family of helicopters.
In this case, the items only applicable for an IPC/ITC appear in the Detailed part list of this
IPC/ITC.
A code which makes it possible to find the address of the manufacturer or supplier is given for
all parts (see vendors list).
If the manufacturer has no code assigned, the temporary indication (CF...) (5) is employed
pending assignment of the final code.

This column lists the Manufacturer part numbers (or the Standard numbers).
(7) For indentation 1 assemblies or installations, the sign " - " preceding the part number
indicates that these assemblies or these installations are "SERIALIZED" and the sign " + "
indicates that they are "OPTIONAL" (see the explanation about these notions in chapter " 5.D
Understanding the validities ").
For other indentations, the sign " * " indicates that the part is " OVERSIZE " and the sign " =
" indicates that the part is an assembly consisting of "MATCHED PARTS". (no itemized
breakdown is listed for such assemblies).
When a "BLANK" (8) replaces the part number, this indicates that the relevant part does not
exist physically but is shown for the breakdown or grouping of detailed parts. This part cannot
be ordered.
Validity (10)
The validity is mentioned below the designation of indentation 1 assemblies. The validity
indicates on which aircrafts (identified by their serial number S/N) the installation was initially
mounted upon delivery.
Example:
- 2395 - 2399
The installation is valid for helicopters S/N from and including 2395 to and including 2399.
- All helicopters
For more details, please refer to the chapter " 5.D Understanding the validities ".
A reference to the detailed part illustration ("FOR DETAIL SEE chapt-sect-subject FIG. ") is
given below the description of the assembly or installation. (11)
Conversely, the reference to the next higher assembly ("FOR NHA SEE chapt-sect-subject FIG.
ITEM ") is given below the description of the subassembly when the latter is illustrated
separately. (12)
These parts are shown immediately below and at the same indentation as the part to be
attached (see chapter "3.B Principle of breakdown").

In the ITC, the following indication is shown: "AFTER AMENDMENT AMO ... ". "AMO" means
Avis de Modification Outillage, it is an Eurocopter document describing how the tool is modified.
The link between detail parts and indentation 1 assemblies or installations (15)
In the case of several indentation 1 assemblies or installations, the applicability link between
the detailed parts and these assemblies or installations is stated below the description of the
part (" APPLIC. FOR NHA...").
Local manufacture
When a part normally supplied by the aircraft manufacturer can be manufactured by the
operator, the indication "ALM" (AUTHORIZED LOCAL MANUFACTURE) followed by "TO BE
TAKEN FROM" (16) detail the material required for its manufacturing.
If a part is not supplied by the aircraft manufacturer, the indication "MLM" (MANDATORY
LOCAL MANUFACTURE) followed by "TO BE TAKEN FROM" detail the material required for
its manufacturing.
The indication "WITH VENDOR DOC" is shown below the relevant part description.
This column indicates the quantity of a component required for the next higher assembly.
When an indentation 1 assembly or an installation from another figure are listed for reference
purposes only, the letters REF are shown in this column. (19)
For parts whose quantity is "as required", the letters "AR" are shown in this column. (20)
You will find in the IPC/ITC several specific spare part numbers identified by the Eurocopter
reference followed by two additional characters set between 51 and 69 (and from 5A to 6Z). A
specific spare part is an assembly composed of a basic part adapted to a specific need. This
need can be one of 2 types:
For example, the reference 332A24-0024-0551 is a tail boom assembly, onto which you can
mount specific equipment such as an antenna. You have to order this part number if it is valid
for your serial number (s).

A mechanical assembly has a 12-character part number. In the case where this assembly can
be modified either by optional equipment (e.g. a de-icing installation) or by a specific tool for
the delivery (e.g. a plug), the modified mechanical assembly part number will correspond to the
unmodified assembly part number followed by a letter (i.e. a 13-character part number).
Examples:
The tail gearbox - unmodified by an optional part or a tool- has the part number
332A33-0001-05.
Whereas the tail gearbox delivered with a specific tool (a plug) has the part number
332A33-0001-05M. Moreover, the optional de-icing installation can be mounted on several
helicopters. In order to distinguish the basic tail gearbox (of the helicopters WITHOUT de-icing
installation ) from those on helicopters WITH a de-icing installation, the first one will have the
part number 332A33-0001-05M whereas the second will have the part number
332A33-0001-05T.
You have to order the part number which is valid for your serial number (s).
Concerning the identification of the assembly in the official documents or on the assembly
itself, you will find the following information:
- Equipment Log Card: Part number (12 characters) and a letter if required+ NATO code (if
the customer requires)
- Assembly: the marking of the part number (12 characters) + letter (13th character) on the
assembly or on the labels attached to the assembly
- Certificate of Conformity (delivered with the spares): 12 or 13-character part number
- Illustrated Parts Catalogue: 12 or 13-character part number
Note : you will find this information in the Service Letter N˚ 1252-00-95
For equipment, you will find in the CMM (Component Maintenance Manual) a more detailed
breakdown than the IPC’s. Both manuals are complementary.

(3) NO INTERCHANGEABILITY
Definition:
The new part can not be used instead of the former one and the former part can not
be used instead of the new one.
Illustration:
The line of the new part number follows the line of the former one. A letter is added after
the item number for the new part number (3).
A part is replaced by a set of parts. There is not any interchangeability link between the
former part and the set of new parts.
In case of a modification covered by a Service Bulletin Alert, you will receive a kit in order
to correctly apply the modification to your helicopter(s).
For example below (serial numbers and modification numbers are fictitious):
After a modification (MOD 07 25 123), the part B evolves into part C. This modification
has to be applied from the serial number S/N 2550. B parts mounted on in-service
operational helicopters (S/N 2001 at 2549) will be modified by a kit, but for future
helicopters manufactured by Eurocopter (S/N 2550 at 2600), the part C will be mounted
instead of the part B.

The validity is used to differentiate the composition of each helicopter (in factory configuration)
at the level of its main components (assemblies or installations)
- Standard.
- Serialized.
- Optional.
Examples : floor hatch assy, FWD door attachment assy, cabin aft panel assy, etc...
The validity (indicated below the description for indent. 1 items and their alternatives) is
defined by the serial number of the aircraft on which these items are installed (upon
helicopter delivery).
Specific helicopter components which can be changed from one aircraft to another either by:
- Removal - installation.
- Manufactured separately.
- Modified separately.
For indentation 1 assemblies or installations the symbol "-" before the part number
indicates that these assemblies or installations are " SERIALIZED ".
The validity (indicated below the description for indent. 1 items and their alternatives) is
defined by the serial number of the aircraft on which these items can be installed.
Component or specific equipment which can be installed on, or removed from, individual
aircraft at the customer’s request. These components or equipment items are differentiated
from the aircraft either by:
For indentation 1 assemblies or installations the symbol " + " before the part number
indicates that these assemblies or installations are " OPTIONAL ".
The validity (indicated below the description for indent. 1 items and their alternatives) is
defined by the serial numbers of all aircraft belonging to an operator who has at least one
optional item which can be installed on any of his aircraft.
