1. PLANNING INFORMATION
A. EFFECTIVITY
This 
Service Bulletin is applicable to all MYSTERE-FALCON 200 aircraft which are fitted with cartridges
which manufacturing references are older than those listed below:
PART NUMBER BATCH DATE
12-12-11707S1-4 45 05/12
12-12-11707S2-4 34 05/12
12-12-11707S3-4 45 05/12
B. REASON
On in-service 
aircraft, following a specific check consisting in testing the pyrotechnical system resistance,
the cartridges P/N 12-12-11707Sx-4 have been discovered prematurely unserviceable.
The cartridge visual inspection scheduled in chapter 5.20 does not permit to detect this failure. The cause
of failure was isolated inside the cartridge by our initial technical investigation with the vendor (corrosion,
signs of moisture).
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to launch the resistance check procedure on the Falcon 200 fleet,
to identify all deficient cartridges P/N 12-12-11707Sx-4 and to replace the defective ones.
C. DESCRIPTION
The operation consists in:
• checking the cartridges references,
• checking the suspected pyrotechnical cartridge resistance of the engine and rear compartment fire
extinguishers (six cartridges),
• replacing the defective cartridge(s) with new one(s).
D. COMPLIANCE
Mandatory:
• It is anticipated that this Service Bulletin will be rendered mandatory by an EASA Airworthiness
Directive.
• As prescribed by the Airworthiness Authorities of the country of registration of the aircraft.
E. APPROVAL
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of DOA nr. EASA.21J.051.
F. LABOR
Estimated labor-hours:
4 hours to test the pyrotechnical system resistance.

INTERFERING WITH THE DASSAULT STANDARD DEFINITION MUST BE
DISCONNECTED FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND TO ENSURE INTEGRITY OF THE
TESTS. 
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR STC HOLDER.
WARNING: ALL THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLIES ARE PROHIBITED WHEN CHECKING THE
PYROTECHNICAL CARTRIDGES. IF ANY POWER SUPPLY REMAINS ON, THERE IS
A RISK OF AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
The aircraft must be in the maintenance configuration (refer to Maintenance Manual, procedure 031.0).
B. PROCEDURE
