Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
Published Date: 2/6/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The FAA wants Dassault Falcon jet owners to update their maintenance plans with new safety rules to keep flying safe. This replaces an older rule with even stricter checks to prevent problems. Owners should act before March 23, 2026, and be ready for possible extra costs to meet these new safety steps.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Must Update Maintenance Programs
If you own or operate certain Dassault FAN JET FALCON airplanes, you must revise your maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations specified in EASA AD 2025-0125 and EASA AD 2023-0060. The rule requires completing the revision within 90 days after the effective date of this AD and retains some prior AD requirements while adding new mandatory inspections and limits.
Estimated Compliance Costs per Operator
The FAA estimates this proposed AD affects 32 U.S.-registered airplanes and estimates costs per operator of $7,650 for the retained actions from AD 2023-22-05 (90 work-hours × $85/hour) and $7,650 for the new proposed actions (90 work-hours × $85/hour). You should also note the FAA is accepting comments on the proposal through March 23, 2026.
