Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16527 · Landing gear
DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2011-10-14. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated 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:
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 7 days after the effective date of this AD, do a general visual inspection for correct installation (as defined in Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010) of the emergency brake system number 2, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010, except that work required by this AD can only be done by persons prescribed in 14 CFR 43.3 and 43.7.
(h) If the emergency brake system number 2 is found installed incorrectly during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD: Before further flight, install the emergency brake system number 2 correctly, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010.
Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: (1) European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2010-0208-E, dated October 12, 2010, has a compliance time of “before the next flight after the effective date of this AD.” This AD requires that the actions be done within 7 days after the effective date of this AD. (2) EASA AD 2010-0208-E, dated October 12, 2010, allows the flightcrew to inspect the emergency brake system number 2 specified in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010. However, this AD requires the inspection to be performed by certificated maintenance personnel.
(3) EASA AD 2010-0208-E, dated October 12, 2010, requires painting the pipes end of the emergency brake system number 2 and related unions within 7 months after the effective date of that AD. This AD does not require painting the pipes end of the emergency brake system number 2 and related unions. We might consider additional rulemaking to require this action in the future.
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.
