Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17749 · Time limits and maintenance checks
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2020-02-21. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-23-19 for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 series airplanes. AD 2002-23-19 required repetitive operational tests, repetitive measurements, and repetitive replacement of certain jackscrews. This new AD requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer revising the airplane maintenance manual (AMM) maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced controllability of the airplane.
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the maintenance program to incorporate the information specified in Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated July 2012, of Chapter 5, Maintenance Planning Document, of the Dassault Falcon 2000 Maintenance Manual. The initial compliance time for the tasks are at the applicable times specified in Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated July 2012, of Chapter 5, Maintenance Planning Document, of the Dassault Falcon 2000 Maintenance Manual, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. Clarification of compliance time terminology used in the tables in the service information is provided in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(6) of this AD.
(1) The term “landings” in the “First Inspection” column of any table in the service information specified in paragraph (g) of this AD means total airplane landings.
(2) The term “flight hours” in the “First Inspection” column of any table in the service information specified in paragraph (g) of this AD means total flight hours.
(3) The term “flight cycles” in the “First Inspection” column of any table in the service information specified in paragraph (g) of this AD means total flight cycles.
(4) For Task 30-11-09-350-801 30-103 identified in the service information specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, the initial compliance time is the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(4)(i) and (g)(4)(ii) of this AD.
(i) Prior to the accumulation of 2,400 total flight hours or 2,000 total flight cycles, or within 2,400 flight hours or 2,000 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.
(ii) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD.
(5) For Task 52-20-00-610-801-01 52-205 identified in the service information specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, the initial compliance time is 24 months after the effective date of this AD.
(6) The limited service life of part number F2MA721512100 is 3,750 total flight cycles on the part or 6 years since the manufacturing date of the part, whichever occurs first.
Accomplishment of the actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2010-26-05, Amendment 39-16544 (75 FR 79952, December 21, 2010), for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 airplanes.
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 in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(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.
