What to do
Operators of affected Falcon 900EX aeroplanes must implement the maintenance tasks and life limits specified in the Dassault Falcon 900EX AMM Chapter 5-40, Revision 18, starting from 25 July 2022. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these requirements. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0144 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Dassault Aviation Falcon 900EX aeroplanes, specifically serial numbers 1 to 119 except 97. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations published in the Dassault Falcon 900EX Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Chapter 5-40, Revision 18. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring maintenance tasks and life limits to be observed as per the latest approved documentation.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0144 supersedes the previous AD 2020-0116 and introduces a new maintenance task for eddy current inspections of flap tracks 2 and 5. It incorporates all new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits introduced since the last revision of the Airworthiness Limitations Section. Operators must update their maintenance programs to reflect these changes.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it mandates updated maintenance requirements that are essential to prevent unsafe conditions on Falcon 900EX aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure these new tasks and life limits are integrated into their maintenance programs to maintain regulatory compliance and aircraft safety. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions and regulatory violations.
