Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19848 · Time limits/maintenance checks
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2023-20-05. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes, certificated in any category, on which the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program (SSIP) (Dassault Service Bulletin 730) has been embodied into the airplane's existing maintenance or inspection program.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in Chapter 5-40-01, Airworthiness Limitations, of the Dassault Falcon 20 Retrofit 731 Maintenance Manual, Revision 10, dated January 1, 2019. The initial compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in Chapter 5-40-01, Airworthiness Limitations, of the Dassault Falcon 20 Retrofit 731 Maintenance Manual, Revision 10, dated January 1, 2019, or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
After the existing maintenance or inspection program has been revised as 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 (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.
Accomplishing the actions required by this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2010-26-05 only for Model MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes on which the SSIP has been embodied into the airplane's existing maintenance or inspection program.
