Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety instruction (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for specific business jets.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of AMD Fan Jet Falcon aircraft (also known as Falcon 20 or Mystere-Falcon 200 series) with serial numbers 1 through 341.

What it requires: You must carry out maintenance actions on the fuel cut-off valves following the instructions in two technical service bulletins: AMD SB No. 550 and 551 (references 28-44 and 28-45).

Deadline: The work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 August 1976.

Why it matters: Faulty fuel cut-off valves could prevent pilots from shutting off fuel flow during an emergency, creating fire risks or fuel leak hazards. This directive ensures the valves function correctly to protect passengers and crew.
