EASA AD 2019-0131
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2020-0113
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0131 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations specified in the Dassault Falcon 2000 Aircraft Maintenance Manual Chapter 5-40, Revision 20. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits for components on these aircraft.
What Changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2017-0236 and introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as detailed in Revision 20 of the Dassault Falcon 2000 AMM Chapter 5-40. It retains previous requirements while updating the maintenance program to reflect the latest airworthiness limitations. Operators must now comply with these revised tasks and intervals to maintain aircraft safety.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0131 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure the safe operation of Falcon 2000 aeroplanes. Failure to follow the updated maintenance tasks and life limits could lead to unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. This directive helps maintain the structural integrity and reliability of the aircraft by enforcing mandatory maintenance standards.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding their life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals starting from 25 June 2019. They are required to revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated airworthiness limitations. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected according to Dassault’s instructions before further flight.
