EASA AD 2019-0141
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2023-0060
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0141 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations specified in Chapter 5-40 of the Dassault FJF Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 18. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits for components on these aircraft.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0141 supersedes the previous AD 2018-0083 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations as defined in Revision 18 of the Dassault FJF AMM Chapter 5-40. It requires operators to replace components before exceeding life limits and to perform maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals. The directive also mandates updating the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to incorporate these changes within 12 months of the effective date.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because failure to comply with the updated airworthiness limitations could lead to unsafe conditions on Fan Jet Falcon aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure that maintenance programs reflect the latest requirements to maintain aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Adhering to these requirements helps prevent potential component failures and ensures continued airworthiness.
What To Do
Operators of Dassault Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes must replace life-limited components before exceeding their limits and perform all maintenance tasks within the specified intervals as outlined in the updated ALS. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to include the new tasks and limitations within 12 months from 2019-07-01. In case of discrepancies found during maintenance, corrective actions must be taken within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is specified.
