Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12075 · Dassault Model Falcon 10 and Model Mystere-Falcon 50 Series Airplanes
Dassault Model Falcon 10 and Model Mystere-Falcon 50 Series Airplanes
Model Falcon 10 series airplanes, serial numbers 1 through 152 inclusive, on which Dassault Modification M801 (reference Dassault Service Bulletin F10-280, Revision 1, dated February 10, 1999) has not been accomplished; and Model Mystere- Falcon 50 series airplanes, serial numbers 2 through 250 inclusive and 252, on which Dassault Modification M1850 (reference Dassault Service Bulletin F50-240, Revision 1, dated October 7, 1998) has not been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dassault Model Falcon 10 and Model Mystere-Falcon 50 series airplanes. For certain airplanes, this amendment requires modification of the aircraft wiring to illuminate the "T/O CONFIG" red warning light on the cockpit warning panel. For certain other airplanes, this amendment requires installation of a "NO TAKEOFF" red light on each pilot's instrument panel; modification of the associated aircraft wiring to activate the lights whenever the aircraft is not in the proper configuration for takeoff; and a revision to the Airplane Flight Manual to check that the "NO TAKEOFF" lights are out prior to takeoff. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent takeoff with the parking brake engaged, which could result in an extended takeoff roll or a rejected takeoff, and consequent runway overrun.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
