Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires all Mystere Falcon 200 aircraft in Australia to correct a fuel-system design fault where water can trap in the crossfeed valve actuator, causing it to fail in flight and risk engine fuel starvation.

Affected operators must complete the prescribed repair by following either the manufacturer’s AMD/BA Service Bulletin F200-64 or Bureau Veritas AD 86‑37‑17(B) before a Certificate of Airworthiness is issued.
