Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14888 · Dassault Model F2000EX Airplanes
Dassault Model F2000EX Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2008-22-15. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX airplanes; s/n (serial number) 06, s/n 28 through 90, s/n 93, and s/n 95; certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as incorrect monitoring of the fire detection system; therefore, its integrity is not guaranteed at all times. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 35 days after the effective date of this AD, perform an engine fire detection integrity check as required by paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), and (e)(3) of this AD in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-137, Revision 1, dated December 7, 2006.
(1) First, in the baggage compartment, on each mobile connector of the monitoring units (L320WG) and (R320WG), the equivalent resistance of the two engine detectors at the LH (left-hand) and the RH (right-hand) sides must be verified. According to findings, the corresponding system is either considered correct or incorrect.
(2) As a second step, if either one or both the LH and the RH system is (are) found to be incorrect, it is required to check the actual resistance of both detectors of the incorrect system(s) on the affected engine(s).
(3) Any faulty detector must be replaced prior to further flight.
(4) Actions done before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-137, dated November 23, 2006, are acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this AD.
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.
