Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0062 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Dassault Aviation Mystère-Falcon 20-( )5 series aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated structural inspection and maintenance requirements as specified in the Dassault Mystère-Falcon 20 Aircraft Maintenance Manual Airworthiness Limitations Section Chapter 5-40 Revision 11. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing life limits and maintenance tasks for these aircraft.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0062 supersedes the previous AD 2019-0201 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limitations as published in the latest revision of the Airworthiness Limitations Section. It requires operators to update their Aircraft Maintenance Programmes to incorporate these changes within 12 months of the effective date. The directive retains prior requirements but adds updated thresholds and intervals for maintenance actions.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the structural integrity and safety of Mystère-Falcon 20-( )5 series aeroplanes by enforcing updated inspection and maintenance standards. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. It also streamlines compliance recording by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing adherence to the AD requirements.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding their life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals as detailed in the updated Airworthiness Limitations Section. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected within the prescribed timeframes or before the next flight if no timeframe is specified. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised to include the new tasks and limitations within 12 months from 2023-04-03.
