Mandatory maintenance program revision
If you operate certain Dassault Falcon Model FAN JET FALCON series C, D, E, F, or G airplanes (as identified in EASA AD 2025-0124, dated May 28, 2025), you must revise your existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The AD is effective June 17, 2026, and the FAA requires the revision to be done within 90 days after the effective date of this AD.
FAA cost estimate per operator
The FAA estimates this AD affects 32 U.S.-registered airplanes and estimates the labor to revise maintenance programs as 90 work‑hours per operator. The FAA estimated the total cost per operator for the retained actions from AD 2023-22-10 is $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85/hour) and estimated the total cost per operator for the new actions is $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85/hour).
Limits on alternative inspections or intervals
After you revise your maintenance or inspection program as required, no alternative actions or inspection intervals are allowed unless they are approved as specified in the referenced EASA AD material. That restriction takes effect once the program revision required by this AD is completed.
