Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11365 · Dassault Model Falcon 2000 Series Airplanes
Dassault Model Falcon 2000 Series Airplanes
Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes, serial numbers 2 through 72 inclusive, except those airplanes on which modification M1486 (reference Dassault Service Bulletin F2000-133, dated July 29, 1998, or Revision 1, dated October 7, 1998) has been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dassault Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes, that requires a detailed inspection for interference between the safety-lock hooks and upper cowls, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment also requires modification of the attachment supports of the inner locking hooks; and a detailed inspection of the safety-lock hooks on the lower engine cowl for proper operation and for clearance between the outer edges of the upper and lower cowls; and corrective actions, 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 unintended disengagement of the engine cowl hooks during ground maintenance, which could result in in-flight loss of an engine cowl from the airplane and possible damage to the airplane and persons or property on the ground.
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.
