Airworthiness Directive 99-31470
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 50 and 900 Series Airplanes, Falcon 900EX Series Airplanes, and Falcon 2000 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 50 and 900 series airplanes, Falcon 900EX series airplanes, and Falcon 2000 series airplanes, that requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual to provide the flight crew with certain instructions associated with the onset of stall warning. This amendment also requires repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the hinge pin assemblies of the rear horizontal stabilizer, and corrective actions, if necessary. For certain airplanes, this amendment also requires replacement of the hinge pin assemblies with new, improved parts. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent excessive movement and consequent deformation of the hinge pin assemblies of the rear horizontal stabilizer, which could result in flutter and possible failure of the rear horizontal stabilizer.
Which aircraft AD 99-31470 applies to
Whether AD 99-31470 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:
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.
