Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for operators of specific French-made business jets.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft in Australia.

What it requires: Operators must follow a French aviation safety directive (DGAC AD 1999-210-009(B)) to fix a potential jamming problem with the overwing emergency exits. They need to ensure the emergency doors can open fully without getting stuck on interior fittings (like seats or panels), following the instructions in the aircraft's Maintenance Manual (Chapter 5.40, Revision 6).

The deadline: Before 31 March 2006 (unless already completed).

Why it matters: A similar aircraft (the Falcon 50) had a problem where the emergency exit door interfered with interior accommodation during opening. This directive prevents passengers from being trapped during an evacuation because the emergency exit won't open properly.
