Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
Key claim: The FAA is proposing to require operators of certain Dassault Falcon 7X airplanes to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations into their maintenance or inspection programs.
Abstract
(Proposed Rule · Transportation Department, Federal Aviation Administration) The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-15-04, which applies to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. AD 2024-15-04 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-15- 04, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2024-15-04 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Why this matters
The proposal would tighten the maintenance or inspection requirements used to support continued airworthiness of affected Dassault Falcon 7X airplanes. It remains a proposed rule, so this finding does not establish a new binding compliance obligation.
