Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17444 · Wings
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to the airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this AD, certificated in any category.
(1) Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 and FALCON 2000EX airplanes, all serial numbers, except those on which modification M3072 has been installed.
(2) DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes, all serial numbers.
(3) DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 900 and FALCON 900EX airplanes, all serial numbers, except those on which modification M5413 has been installed.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain DASSAULT AVIATION Model FALCON 2000, FALCON 2000EX, MYSTERE-FALCON 900, and FALCON 900EX airplanes; and all Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that collapse of the main landing gear (MLG) could cause wing tank structure failure, which could result in fuel spillage and consequent fire hazard. This AD requires modification of the wing fuel tanks in the area of the wheel well. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel spillage in the event of a MLG collapse, and consequent fire hazard.
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 150 months after the effective date of this AD, do the modification of the right-hand and left-hand wing fuel tanks, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service information specified in paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), (g)(3), (g)(4), or (g)(5) of this AD, as applicable. The service information specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(5) of this AD contains a paragraph which states that each person applying the service bulletins must have successfully completed a training program. This training is recommended, but is not required by this AD.
