Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19016 · Standard practices/structures
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes, certificated in any category, manufacturer serial numbers 15 through 89 inclusive, 92 through 94 inclusive, 97 through 101 inclusive, 105, and 106.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. This AD was prompted by a discovery of noncompliant rivets in the flight deck upper skin. This AD requires replacement of noncompliant rivets. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Before exceeding 99 months or 4,100 flight cycles, whichever occurs first, since the date of issuance of the original certificate of airworthiness or the date of issuance of the original export certificate of airworthiness, modify the airplane by replacing certain MGPL-type rivets installed on the flight deck skin panel with solid type-rivets, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin 7X-176, dated February 3, 2016.
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.
