EASA AD 2023-0060
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2025-0125
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0060 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in the Dassault FJF Aircraft Maintenance Manual Airworthiness Limitations Section Chapter 5-40 Revision 19. This directive applies to all Fan Jet Falcon aircraft except those that have incorporated the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program via Service Bulletin 730.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0060 supersedes the previous AD 2019-0141 and introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for components as detailed in the updated ALS Revision 19. It requires operators to replace components before exceeding life limits and to perform maintenance tasks within specified intervals. The directive also mandates revising the Aircraft Maintenance Programme to incorporate these updated limitations within 12 months of the effective date.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals to ensure the continued airworthiness and safety of Fan Jet Falcon aircraft by enforcing compliance with the latest maintenance standards. Operators and maintenance organizations must update their maintenance programs to avoid unsafe conditions caused by failure to perform required tasks or replace life-limited parts. Compliance ensures regulatory adherence and helps prevent potential safety risks associated with outdated maintenance practices.
What To Do
Operators of affected Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes must replace components before exceeding their life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within the specified intervals as per the updated ALS. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to include the new tasks and limitations within 12 months from 2023-03-30. In case of discrepancies found during maintenance, corrective actions must be taken within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.
