EASA AD 2022-0068-E
Landing Gear — Brake Control System / Servo-Valve — Relocation / Replacement / Aircraft Flight Manual — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0068-E is an emergency directive addressing brake control system issues on Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes. It targets specific brake servo-valves with part number C20103510-1 that have been subject to inappropriate oiling, leading to potential brake system failure during landing. The directive mandates relocation, replacement, and flight manual amendments to mitigate the risk.
What Changed
This directive introduces requirements to relocate affected brake servo-valves between left and right brake systems to ensure at least one system remains unaffected, amend the aircraft flight manual with new supplements, and replace all affected parts within 12 months. It also establishes installation limitations for these parts depending on the aircraft group classification.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for maintaining safe braking performance during landing, preventing reduced control and potential damage to the aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must address these requirements promptly to ensure continued airworthiness and regulatory compliance. Failure to comply could result in unsafe landing conditions and regulatory penalties.
What To Do
Operators of Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX aeroplanes with affected brake servo-valves must relocate these parts within 5 flight cycles from 16 April 2022, amend the applicable aircraft flight manual accordingly, and replace all affected parts within 12 months of the effective date. Installation of affected parts is restricted based on aircraft group classification, and compliance with the Dassault service bulletins and AFM supplements is mandatory.
