Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22790 · Standard practices/structures
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2023-0207, dated November 21, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0207).
(1) Model FALCON 7X airplanes.
(2) Model FALCON 900EX airplanes.
(3) Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-02- 10, which applied to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X, FALCON 900EX, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. AD 2022-02-10 required replacement of certain titanium screws. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-02-10, affected parts have been found in other areas of certain Falcon 7X airplanes as well as in additional Falcon 7X airplanes. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-02-10, adds other locations for screw replacement, and revises the applicability, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2023-0207.
(1) Where EASA AD 2023-0207 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) This AD does not adopt the “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2023-0207.
(3) Where the “Ref Publications” section of EASA AD 2023-0207 specifies “Dassault SB 7X-467 original issue dated 16 November 2020, Rev. 1 dated 12 December 2022 or Rev. 2 dated 20 March 2023,” this AD requires replacing that text with “Dassault Service Bulletin 7X-467, Revision 2, dated March 20, 2023.”
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.
