We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above.

The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 10 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD: Verify that the life rafts are stowed correctly, with deployment straps outboard, in accordance with the instructions specified in Dassault Service Bulletin F50-480, dated December 5, 2006, and verify that the overall dimensions of the life raft hard pack do not exceed nominal values, as indicated in Part F50-480-1 of the service bulletin.
(i) If a life raft is found incorrectly stowed, before next flight, reinstall it in accordance with the instructions specified in Part F50-480-1 of the service bulletin.
(ii) If nominal values of the overall dimensions of the life raft hard pack are exceeded, within 3 months after the effective date of this AD, install a properly repacked life raft as instructed in Part F50-480-2 of the service bulletin.
Note 1: Notice that with no life raft aboard, local national operating regulations may not allow some extended overwater flights.
