Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to all models of the AMD Fan Jet Falcon (Falcon 20/Mystere-Falcon 200) series aircraft registered in Australia. It requires operators to follow a specific structural inspection program—originally issued by French aviation authorities (DGAC) and the manufacturer Dassault—to check the airframe for fatigue and damage.

Why it matters: Normally, these aircraft must retire once they hit their original design limits. By completing the Supplementary Structural Inspection Program (SSIP), operators can safely extend the plane's operational life to the lesser of 40,000 flights or 60,000 flight hours.

Who must comply: Australian operators of these specific Falcon 20 aircraft. The directive mandates compliance with the technical requirements of the referenced French directive and service bulletin by the specified effective date.
