EASA AD 2020-0113
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2022-0135
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0113 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated airworthiness limitations specified in Chapter 5-40, Revision 21, of the Dassault Falcon 2000 Aircraft Maintenance Manual. This directive ensures the continued airworthiness of these aircraft by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits.
What Changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2019-0131 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as detailed in Revision 21 of the Falcon 2000 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 airworthiness limitations.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA AD 2020-0113 is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams to prevent unsafe conditions caused by failure to perform mandatory maintenance tasks. It ensures that life-limited parts are replaced timely and maintenance is conducted within specified intervals, thereby maintaining aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Failure to comply could lead to grounding or unsafe operation of Falcon 2000 aircraft.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals starting from 3 June 2020. They must revise the 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 within the compliance times specified or before the next flight if no time is given.
