Summary
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Dassault Model Falcon 2000, Mystere- Falcon 900, Falcon 900EX, Fan Jet Falcon, Mystere-Falcon 50, Mystere- Falcon 20, Mystere-Falcon 200, and Falcon 10 series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive tests and inspections to detect discrepancies of the overwing emergency exit, and corrective action if necessary. This proposed AD would expand the applicability of the existing AD and extend the repetitive test and inspection interval for all airplanes. This proposed AD results from reports of incorrect operation of the overwing emergency exit due to interference between the emergency exit and the interior accommodation. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the overwing emergency exits to open, and consequent injury to passengers or crew members during an emergency evacuation.
