Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Owners and operators of Dassault Fan Jet Falcon, Mystere Falcon 20, and Mystere Falcon 200 series must perform inside‑cabin opening tests of the overwing emergency exits per the aircraft maintenance manual (specified revision) to ensure they open freely. If not done within six months before Nov 1999, the test was due by Nov 7, 1999, and must be repeated at intervals no greater than 12 months. This prevents interior trim panels from jamming exits during an evacuation.
