Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued special conditions requiring Honeywell Aerospace and Dassault Aviation to secure the electronic systems of the Falcon 900EX airplane. These new requirements apply to a planned upgrade that will allow the aircraft’s internal networks to connect with external sources, such as satellite communications, wireless devices, and airline maintenance databases.
Why it matters: This action establishes a safety baseline for a specific design change rather than creating new rules for all aircraft. It ensures that connecting private jets to outside networks does not compromise flight safety or allow unauthorized parties to interfere with critical systems.
