FAA Updates Maintenance Rules for Dassault Falcon Jet Series
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a final rule updating airworthiness directives for certain Dassault Aviation Falcon jets. It replaces a 2023 directive and adopts stricter maintenance schedules based on European safety standards.
Why it matters: This rule ensures that older Falcon jets continue to meet current structural safety standards by tightening inspection intervals for fatigue and corrosion. It is mostly an administrative update that aligns U.S. maintenance requirements with European aviation authority recommendations. Operators will need to adjust their paperwork and scheduling, but the change does not alter how the aircraft are flown.
Who it affects
- Operators of Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON and FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes registered in the United States
This action was published by the Federal Aviation Administration in the Federal Register; operators should review the full directive and referenced European documents before updating compliance records.
