Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0115 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dassault Aviation Mystère-Falcon 900 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated airworthiness limitations detailed in Chapter 5-40, Revision 25, of the Dassault Mystère-Falcon 900 Aircraft Maintenance Manual. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits for components on these aircraft.
What Changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2019-0132 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in Revision 25 of the Dassault Mystère-Falcon 900 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 revised airworthiness limitations.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0115 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure the safe operation of Mystère-Falcon 900 aircraft. Failure to adhere to the updated maintenance tasks and life limits could lead to unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. This directive provides clear guidance to maintain aircraft airworthiness and avoid operational disruptions.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals as per the updated AMM Chapter 5-40, Revision 25. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these new limitations and tasks.
