Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23093 · Navigation
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024-0219, dated November 18, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0219).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of the incorrect installation of the very high frequency omnidirectional range and localizer (VOR/LOC) antenna coupler. This AD requires implementing an operational limitation for Category (CAT) II and CAT III approaches, inspecting the VOR/LOC antenna coupler, and reinstalling the VOR/LOC antenna coupler if necessary. 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 2024-0219.
(1) Where EASA AD 2024-0219 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2024-0219 specifies that “[a]mending the applicable AFM [airplane flight manual] by inserting a copy of this AD and, thereafter, operating the aeroplane accordingly, is an acceptable method to comply with this [operational limitation] requirement”, this AD does not require operating the airplane according to that AFM revision, as that action is already required by existing FAA operating regulations (see 14 CFR 91.9, 14 CFR 91.505, and 14 CFR 121.137).
(3) This AD does not adopt the “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2024-0219.
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.
