EASA AD 2008-0221-CN
CANCELLED: Time Limits / Maintenance Checks — Airworthiness Limitations Section Chapter 5-40 — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2008-0221-CN is a cancellation notice issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting various Dassault Aviation aircraft models including Falcon 10, Fan Jet Falcon, Mystère-Falcon 20GF, Mystère-Falcon 20-( )5 series, Mystère-Falcon 200, Mystère-Falcon 50, Mystère-Falcon 900, Falcon 900EX, Falcon 2000, Falcon 2000EX, and Falcon 7X. This document cancels the previous AD 2008-0221 related to time limits and maintenance checks in the Airworthiness Limitations Section Chapter 5-40. It confirms that the requirements have been superseded by more recent ADs specific to each aircraft type.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2008-0221-CN cancels the original AD 2008-0221 and its correction, as the maintenance tasks and limitations have been updated and incorporated into newer, type-specific ADs. These newer ADs address new or more restrictive maintenance tasks introduced in revised Airworthiness Limitations Sections for each affected Dassault aircraft model. The cancellation consolidates compliance requirements under the latest applicable directives.
Why It Matters
This cancellation clarifies that operators and maintenance organizations must follow the latest approved maintenance programs and ADs for their specific Dassault aircraft models, ensuring compliance with the most current airworthiness limitations. It prevents confusion by formally withdrawing outdated requirements and directing stakeholders to the relevant updated directives. This helps maintain safety and regulatory compliance in continuing airworthiness management.
What To Do
Operators and maintenance providers should discontinue compliance with EASA AD 2008-0221 and instead adhere to the latest applicable ADs listed in the cancellation notice for their specific aircraft models. They should ensure their Aircraft Maintenance Program incorporates the current Airworthiness Limitations Section revisions as mandated by the newer ADs. No new actions or compliance deadlines are required by this cancellation notice itself.
