Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17347 · Periodic inspections
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2017-09-03. Comply with the one in force.
(1) This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
(2) This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a manufacturer revision to the airplane maintenance manual (AMM) that introduces new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This AD requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity 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 this AD: Revise the maintenance program to incorporate all airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks specified in Section 05-40/00, Airworthiness Limitations, of Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, of the Dassault Falcon 50/50EX Maintenance Manual, Revision 21, dated June 2011. The initial compliance times for the tasks are at the applicable times specified in Section 05-40/00, Airworthiness Limitations, of Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, of the Dassault Falcon 50/50EX Maintenance Manual, Revision 21, dated June 2011, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
After accomplishing the revisions required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, and/or CDCCLs may be used other than those specified in Section 05-40/00, Airworthiness Limitations, of Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, of the Dassault Falcon 50/50EX Maintenance Manual, Revision 21, dated June 2011, unless the actions, intervals, and/or CDCCLs are approved as an alternative methods of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.
Accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD terminates the requirements of AD 2012-02-18, Amendment 39-16941 (77 FR 12175, February 29, 2012); and AD 2010-26-05, Amendment 39-16544 (75 FR 79952, December 21, 2010); for the Dassault Aviation Model Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes specified in those ADs.
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.
