What to do

Operators of Dassault Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes must implement the maintenance tasks and life limits specified in the ALS Revision 13 starting from the effective date of 2020-06-03. They must revise the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these updated limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.

Summary

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0114 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated airworthiness limitations section in the Dassault Falcon 2000EX Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Chapter 5-40, Revision 13. This directive ensures the continued airworthiness of the Falcon 2000EX fleet by enforcing mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits.

What changed

This directive supersedes EASA AD 2019-0154 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in Revision 13 of the Dassault 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 2020-0114 is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams to prevent unsafe conditions caused by failure to perform mandatory maintenance tasks. The directive ensures that life-limited parts are replaced timely and that maintenance tasks are performed within specified intervals, thereby safeguarding aircraft reliability and regulatory compliance. It also streamlines record-keeping by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
