AD 2021-09-12 Requires Revising The Existing Maintenance Or Inspection Program
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-07-16, which applied to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes.
AD 2020-07-16 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective June 8, 2021.
Supplementary Information: The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0214, dated October 6, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0214) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-07-16 Amendment 39-19895 (85 FR 20405, April 13, 2020) (AD 2020-07-16). AD 2020-07-16 applied to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2021 (86 FR 3879). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in EASA AD 2020-0214.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address reduced structural integrity and reduced control of airplanes due to the failure of system components. See the MCAI for additional background information.
