Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety instruction (called an Airworthiness Directive) for owners and operators of specific Falcon 20 series jet aircraft.

Who it affects: Anyone operating AMD Fan Jet Falcon or Mystere-Falcon 200 aircraft with serial numbers 1 through 94, unless the aircraft has already been modified under "Mod. AMD No. 116".

What must be done: You must immediately take action to fix a problem with the microswitch (a small electrical switch) that controls the cabin pressurisation system (the system that keeps breathable air inside the plane at high altitude). The specific repair instructions are contained in a technical document called "AMD SB No. 211 (76-4), Rev. 1" (the manufacturer's service bulletin).

When: Immediately (the term used is "Forthwith"). This suggests a serious safety risk that cannot wait for the next scheduled maintenance.
