Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16941 · Wings
DASSAULT AVIATION Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2019-05-14. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the flap tracks. This AD requires revising the maintenance program to include revised airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking of the flap tracks, which could lead to flap asymmetry and loss of control of the airplane.
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 30 days after the effective date of the AD, revise the maintenance program to include “Non-Destructive Check of Flap Tracks 2 and 5,” Maintenance Procedure 57-607, of Chapter 5-40, “Airworthiness Limitations,” of the Dassault Falcon 50/50EX Maintenance Manual, Revision 21, dated June 2011. The initial compliance time for doing the check is prior to the accumulation of 7,900 total flight cycles or within 600 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
After accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions or intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (i)(1) 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.
