What to do
Affected operators and maintenance providers should continue to follow the Dassault Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Chapter 5-40, and any other applicable EASA ADs that have incorporated the necessary inspections for the pressurization control regulating valve. No new actions or compliance deadlines arise from this cancellation notice. For technical questions, stakeholders should contact Dassault Falcon Technical Assistance or EASA's Certification Directorate.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2008-0072-CN is a cancellation notice issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency on 2020-10-05. It applies to all certified Dassault Aviation Falcon models including Falcon 10, Falcon 20 series, Falcon 50, Falcon 900 series, and Falcon 2000 series aircraft. The directive cancels the previous AD 2008-0072 which required repetitive checks of the pressurization control regulating valve's overpressure capsule.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2008-0072-CN officially cancels the earlier AD 2008-0072 dated 2008-04-18. The cancellation reflects that the required inspections and maintenance tasks for the pressurization control regulating valve have been incorporated into the Dassault Aircraft Maintenance Manual's Airworthiness Limitations Section and are now mandated by other EASA ADs covering each affected Dassault type design.
Why it matters
This cancellation simplifies regulatory compliance for operators and maintenance organizations by removing redundant AD requirements. It confirms that the safety measures for the pressurization control regulating valve are now fully integrated into ongoing maintenance programs, ensuring continued airworthiness without the need for separate AD-mandated repetitive checks. Compliance teams can focus on the updated maintenance manuals and relevant ADs for their specific aircraft models.
