Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires Dassault Falcon 2000 aeroplanes fitted with elevator auxiliary artificial feel unit (AFU) P/N 105045-10 to have that unit replaced by AFU P/N 105045-13 before the unit exceeds 2,000 landings. Operators and owners must arrange and pay for the replacement and track landing counts. The measure responds to an inspection finding that a broken AFU bushing can affect elevator neutral position if an upstream linkage disconnects, creating a potential flight-safety risk.
