What to do
Operators of affected Fan Jet Falcon aircraft must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals as outlined in the updated Aircraft Maintenance Manual. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Program within 12 months of the directive's effective date to incorporate these requirements. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected promptly according to Dassault maintenance documentation or with approved instructions.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0193 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes that have incorporated the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program (SSIP) into their maintenance programs. This directive mandates compliance with updated maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in the Dassault Fan Jet Falcon Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) Chapter 5-40, Revision 9. It ensures continued structural integrity and airworthiness of these aircraft.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0193 replaces the previous requirements set by EASA AD 2008-0221 by introducing more restrictive maintenance tasks and airworthiness limitations as defined in the latest revision of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. It requires operators to update their maintenance programs to incorporate these new tasks and life limits, reflecting the latest safety standards for ageing Fan Jet Falcon aircraft.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the continued structural integrity and safety of ageing Dassault Fan Jet Falcon aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply with the updated maintenance requirements to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. It also streamlines compliance by allowing AMP revisions to serve as proof of ongoing adherence to the directive.
