Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive affects AMD Fan Jet Falcon 20 and Mystère‑Falcon 200 series aircraft (serials 1–209) and requires prompt and recurring inspections of the T2 aspirator hose for collapse, twisting, or fabric separation, with immediate replacement if damaged.

It also mandates a permanent hose upgrade within 200 flight hours per the manufacturer’s service bulletin. The action prevents fuel leaks or fuel‑system failures that could lead to fire or engine issues.
