Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11218 · Dassault Model 2000, 900EX, and Mystere Falcon 900 Series Airplanes
Dassault Model 2000, 900EX, and Mystere Falcon 900 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2002-23-19. Comply with the one in force.
All Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes; Falcon 900EX series airplanes, serial numbers 04 and subsequent; and Mystere Falcon 900 series airplanes, serial numbers 161 and subsequent; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Dassault Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes; and certain Dassault Model 900EX, and Mystere Falcon 900 series airplanes, that requires repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry detection system to verify proper functioning, and repair, if necessary; repetitive replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new jackscrews; repetitive measurement of the screw/nut play to detect discrepancies; and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent jamming of the flap jackscrews, which could result in the inability to move the flaps or an asymmetric flap condition, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
