SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2025-0291
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0035 is issued for Dassault Aviation Falcon 900EX aeroplanes, serial numbers 1 to 119 except 97. This directive mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations specified in the Dassault Falcon 900EX Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations Section, Revision 19. It ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits on components.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0035 supersedes the previous AD 2022-0144 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as published in the latest Revision 19 of the Falcon 900EX Airworthiness Limitations Section. It retains prior requirements while updating the maintenance program to reflect these changes.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent unsafe conditions by ensuring all mandatory maintenance tasks and component life limits are met. Compliance maintains aircraft airworthiness and regulatory conformity, reducing the risk of in-service failures and ensuring safety.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals starting from 14 February 2024. They must revise the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected per Dassault instructions before further flight.
