Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0126 is an amendment addressing the airworthiness limitations for Dassault Aviation Mystère-Falcon 20-( )5 series aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in the Dassault Mystère-Falcon 20 Maintenance Manual, Airworthiness Limitations, Chapter 5-40-01 Revision 12. This directive applies to all serial numbers of the affected aircraft models that have incorporated the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program (SSIP) through Service Bulletin 730.
What Changed
This amendment supersedes EASA AD 2023-0062 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for components as defined in the latest revision of the airworthiness limitations section. It requires operators to update their Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) within 12 months to incorporate these changes. The directive also clarifies corrective actions in case discrepancies are found during maintenance.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0126 is critical to ensure the continued airworthiness and safety of the Dassault Mystère-Falcon 20-( )5 series aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations must adhere to the updated maintenance schedules and life limits to prevent unsafe conditions. Failure to comply may result in regulatory non-compliance and increased risk of component failure.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding their new life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within the specified thresholds and intervals starting from 11 June 2025. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight using approved instructions. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the updated airworthiness limitations.
