FAA proposes airworthiness directive for Airbus helicopters over pedal blockage

The FAA proposes a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus Helicopters models (AS350B2, AS350B3, EC130B4) after a report of partial pilot pedal blocking. The directive would require modifying and reidentifying an affected fuse cover and prohibit its installation. This is a routine safety regulation, not an active incident, but it signals a potential design flaw affecting helicopter operations.
