Dassault Falcon operators face new maintenance rules
If you own or operate certain Dassault FAN JET FALCON airplanes (Models FAN JET FALCON and Series C, D, E, F, and G), the FAA proposes you must revise your maintenance or inspection program to add new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA estimates this proposal affects 32 U.S.-registered airplanes and that the paperwork/maintenance-program revision effort is about 90 work‑hours per operator, estimated at $7,650 for the retained actions and $7,650 for the newly proposed actions. Revisions must be done within 90 days after the AD's effective date (and some prior items required within 90 days after December 26, 2023).
