Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety fix for the engine fire extinguishing system on certain Dassault Falcon 20 business jets (specifically serial numbers 1 through 404).

Who it affects: Operators of these specific Falcon 20/Mystere-Falcon 200 aircraft. If your jet's serial number is between 1 and 404, this rule applies to you.

What you must do: Follow the manufacturer's technical instructions outlined in AMD Service Bulletin No. 632 (dated 26 November). This involves modifying or inspecting the engine fire extinguishing system to ensure it actually works if an engine catches fire.

Why it matters: Engine fires are catastrophic. If the extinguishing system fails, you risk losing the aircraft and everyone on board. This directive ensures the fire suppression system is up to scratch.

Compliance deadline: The work must have been completed before 1 January 1980.
