Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17540 · Landing gear
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. This AD requires incorporation of a new procedure into the airplane flight manual (AFM). This AD was prompted by a report of a runway excursion caused by failure of the nose landing gear position feed-back assembly. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct an incorrect angle signal causing an un-commanded nose wheel deflection, which could result in reduced controllability 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 Limitations and Normal Procedures sections to incorporate the procedures in Dassault Change Proposal (CP)076, approved by European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on June 17, 2013, to the Dassault Falcon 7X Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) DGT105608. Dassault CP076, approved by EASA on June 17, 2013, introduces procedures for checking the condition of the nose wheel steering position feedback. Thereafter, operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in Dassault CP076, approved by EASA on June 17, 2013. The revision may be done by inserting a copy of Dassault CP076, approved by EASA on June 17, 2013, in the AFM. When this change proposal has been included in general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in Dassault CP076, approved by EASA on June 17, 2013, and the change proposal may be removed from the AFM. These amendments take precedence over the same procedures displayed through the electronic checklist (ECL).
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.
