From the FAA registry file of October 24, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Turbomeca ARTOUSTE II model are included.

## Information bulletins (advisory)

None matched.

## NTSB investigations (2)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB GAA23WA118](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA23WA118), Mar 1, 2023: Sud Aviation/Eurocopter Alouette II SE313B (N45VX), Mangsee Island, Philippines, 4 fatal
