AD: Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AD 2021-14-04 Requires Replacement Of Certain ANCRA Seat Tracks With Certified (Brownline) Seat Tracks

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes.

This AD was prompted by a report that non-certified ANCRA seat tracks were installed on some airplanes and that those seat tracks might not sustain required loads during an emergency landing. This AD requires replacement of certain ANCRA seat tracks with certified (Brownline) seat tracks, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective August 26, 2021.

Supplementary Information: The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0188, dated August 24, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0188) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes.

The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2021 (86 FR 11189). The NPRM was prompted by a report that non-certified ANCRA seat tracks were installed on some airplanes and that those seat tracks might not sustain required loads during an emergency landing. The NPRM proposed to require replacement of certain ANCRA seat tracks with certified (Brownline) seat tracks, as specified in EASA AD 2020-0188.

The FAA is issuing this AD to address seat tracks that could fail and lead to seat detachment during an emergency landing, which could result in injury to airplane occupants and prevent evacuation of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.
