Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) that has the force of law. It applies to owners and operators of specific Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft (serial numbers 1 through 342, plus 344, 345, and 346).

What it requires: You must inspect or repair the aileron control linkage (the mechanical connection between the cockpit controls and the wing flaps that help steer the aircraft) according to the manufacturer's Service Bulletin No. 570.

When you must act: The work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 January 1978.

Why it matters: Airworthiness Directives are issued when a safety defect is found that could affect flight safety. Operating an aircraft without complying with an AD is illegal in Australia — the aircraft is considered unairworthy until the work is done and logged.
