EASA AD 2019-0154
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2020-0114
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0154 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations detailed in Chapter 5-40, Revision 12, of the Dassault Falcon 2000EX Aircraft Maintenance Manual. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits for components.
What Changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2018-0021 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in Revision 12 of the Falcon 2000EX AMM Chapter 5-40. It retains previous requirements while updating thresholds and intervals for maintenance tasks to enhance safety. Operators must now comply with these updated instructions to maintain airworthiness.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0154 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent unsafe conditions arising from failure to perform mandatory maintenance tasks. It ensures that life-limited parts are replaced timely and maintenance intervals are adhered to, thereby safeguarding aircraft reliability and regulatory compliance. This directive also streamlines record-keeping by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
What To Do
Operators of Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes must implement the updated maintenance tasks and life limits from the effective date of 2019-07-17, replacing components before exceeding life limits and performing all tasks within specified intervals. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these changes. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected according to Dassault instructions before further flight.
