Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0009 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Mystère-Falcon 200 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in the Dassault Mystère Falcon 200 Aircraft Maintenance Manual Airworthiness Limitations Section Chapter 5-40 at Revision 17. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing mandatory maintenance and replacement of life-limited components.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0009 replaces the previous requirements set by EASA AD 2008-0221 by introducing new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as published in the latest revision of the airworthiness limitations section. It requires operators to follow the updated maintenance tasks and replacement schedules defined in Revision 17 of the ALS, reflecting the latest safety standards.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures that maintenance programs for the Dassault Mystère Falcon 200 are up to date with the latest safety requirements, preventing unsafe conditions caused by overdue maintenance or life-limited parts. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must adhere to these updated requirements to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure aircraft safety.
What To Do
Operators must comply with the updated maintenance tasks and life limits specified in the ALS starting from the effective date of 2018-01-29. They are required to revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Program within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these new limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.
