What to do
Operators of Dassault Falcon 10 aeroplanes must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals as per the updated airworthiness limitations. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Program within 12 months of the effective date, 2018-04-23, to incorporate these new requirements. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is specified.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0078 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Falcon 10 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance instructions specified in Chapter 5-40 of the Dassault Falcon 10 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 13. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits for components.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0078 replaces previous maintenance requirements by introducing new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks for Falcon 10 aeroplanes. It supersedes the earlier AD 2008-0221 and requires operators to update their maintenance programs to incorporate the latest instructions from the Dassault Falcon 10 AMM Revision 13.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the safe operation of Falcon 10 aeroplanes by enforcing updated maintenance and life limit requirements. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must adhere to these requirements to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. It also streamlines record-keeping by allowing compliance demonstration through approved maintenance program revisions.
