AD: Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2018-03-19

PRODUCT: Certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by a report indicating that fuselage panels were manufactured with defects that could reduce panel fatigue limits.

This AD requires a one-time inspection of the affected panels and repair if necessary, and for certain airplanes, installation of a stiffener.

DATES: This AD is effective March 20, 2018.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. registry.

The cost of compliance is estimated as follows:

  • Panel Inspections - Up to $850 per aircraft for 10 hours of labor at an average of $85 per hour.
  • Stiffener installation (up to 3 airplanes): 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170. Parts cost $8,769. Total cost per aircraft $8,939
