Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON 900EX, FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of a loose screw on certain slat mechanical stop assemblies, and punctures in certain fuel caps. This AD requires a one-time inspection, and corrective action if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

ModelsMYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON 900EX, FALCON 2000, FALCON 2000EX, FALCON 900

Applicability determined by serial numbers specified in Dassault Service Bulletin F900-460, Revision 1 (MYSTERE-FALCON 900, dated February 10, 2017); Dassault Service Bulletin F900EX-508, Revision 3 (FALCON 900EX, dated February 10, 2017); Dassault Service Bulletin F2000-433, Revision 1 (FALCON 2000, dated February 10, 2017); and Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-386, Revision 3 (FALCON 2000EX, dated February 10, 2017).

Whether AD 2018-05-05 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
Date — When the work was done.
Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2018-05-05 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
