## The airworthiness directive

97-19-07 DASSAULT AVIATION: Amendment 39-10127. Docket 97-NM-182-AD. Applicability: All Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes, certificated in any category.

NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent an engineflame-out during a rapid throttle reduction, accomplish the following:

  (a) Within 7 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations and Abnormal Procedures Sections of the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F2000-80 (F2000-283), dated December 11, 1996.

NOTE 2: This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of Temporary Change No. 34 (undated) to the Falcon 2000 AFM into the AFM. When this temporary revision has been incorporated in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the information contained in the general revisions is identical to that specified in Temporary Change No. 34.

  (b) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, install new placards stipulating the types of airplane fuel to be used, in accordance with Dassault Aviation Service Bulletin F2000-80 (F2000- 28-3), dated December 11, 1996.

  (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

NOTE 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

  (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.

  (e) The actions shall be done in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F2000-80 (F2000- 28-3), dated December 11, 1996. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies may be obtained from Dassault Falcon Jet Corporation, Teterboro Airport, P.O. Box 2000, South Hackensack, New Jersey. Copies may be inspected at the FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington; or at the FAA, Engine and Propeller Directorate, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts; or at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC.

NOTE 4: The subject of this AD is addressed in French airworthiness directive 96-290-001(B), dated December 4, 1996.
