Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of certain Falcon 50, Falcon 900 and 900EX aeroplanes fitted with specified GPIRS part numbers to replace mandated temporary Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) changes, and to de‑hybridise the GPIRS. It also requires incorporation of specific Dassault service bulletins if GPS deactivation by circuit breakers has been implemented.
The actions must be carried out by the aircraft operator/maintainer before further flight (Compliance). Exceptions apply where listed SBs or modifications are already embodied (Applicability; Requirement).
