AD NUMBER: 2019-07-01

PRODUCT: Certain Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON and FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by a determination of the need for a revision to the airplane airworthiness limitations to introduce changes to the maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.

This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements.

DATES: This AD is effective May 24, 2019.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 168 airplanes of U.S. registry Operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:

The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although this number may vary from operator to operator.
In the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the estimated total cost per operator is $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
