Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a safety directive requiring owners and operators of specific Dassault Falcon business jets (the Falcon 20 and Mystere-Falcon 200 series) to inspect or replace the fire extinguisher bottle squibs in their aircraft.

Who it affects: Anyone operating these specific French-made twin-jet aircraft in Australia.

What you need to do: Follow the instructions in "AMD Service Newsflash No. 81" (the manufacturer’s technical bulletin). This likely involves checking or replacing the small explosive charges (squibs) that activate the engine fire extinguishers.

Why it matters: Faulty squibs could prevent fire extinguishers from deploying during an engine fire, creating a serious safety risk.

Deadline: The work had to be completed before 1 October 1977.
