B - 5-40-01 Mandatory maintenance operations. IMPORTANT: These instructions must be complied with mandatorily by the operators. Failure to comply with these instructions will lead to the immediate suspension of the Airworthiness Certificate. The mandatory nature of these instructions does not in any way reduce the importance of the other tasks listed in the Recommended Maintenance Manual Program, which must be carried out in agreement with the National Airworthiness Authorities. The mandatory maintenance operation time limits given in Section 5-40- 01 correspond to results obtained from computations. In order to reduce down time due to scheduled maintenance, these mandatory operations also appear in section 5 -10, 5-10-01 or 5-20, with time limits corresponding to the aircraft inspections (A, B, Z, C, etc.) or expressed as a number of flights. An operation required in section 5- 40-01 may not necessarily be carried out, provided it was previously performed during an inspection required in sections 5-10 or 5-10-1. To facilitate scheduling of maintenance operations expressed in "FLIGHTS", a flight is considered as equivalent to landing except for some specific operation conditions (training aircraft, maritime patrol aircrafts, etc.) see 5- 00-00 paragraph 4E of document DMD No. 11755. If an operator installs a secondhand main structural part (example: landing gear), he must note on t he aircraft logbook the number of flights or landings accumulated by this part since manufacturing; He must ensure that, during operation, the service life limit of this part, indicated in chapter 5-40-01, will not be exceeded. Updating of section 5-40-01: When a new maintenance operation has been introduced during a revision of Chapter 5 Section 5-40-01, this operation must be carried out when the time at which it is scheduled falls due, unless otherwise specified in the "MAXIMUM TIME LIMIT" column. When the aircraft inspection have two limits (i.e., 12 years or 7500 flights) the due time will be which ever is reached the first. Responsibilities of the operators (AC 91-56) All additional inspection results, negative or positive, must be reported to the DASSAULT AVIATION manufacturer. ### Page 8 FALCON 20 MAINTENANCE MANUAL EFFECTIVITY : AIRCRAFT WITH SB No. 730 (S.S.I.P.) “DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data” 5-40-01 Page 4 Revision 8 A - Airframe components with limited service life ("SAFE LIFE") The airframe components with limited service life having a s ervice life lower than or equal to 40000 flights/60000 flight hours are given in the table below. This list refers only to installations designed or approved by DASSAULT AVIATION and incorporated in the aircraft type design.

Service Bulletin No. 730. Tolerance: To avoid aircraft down time for logistic reasons, the manufacturer authorizes exceptionally a maximum tolerance of plus 6 months on the repeat interval of the M.C.I. (12 years). NOTE (2): The periodicity of three inspections: 28-00-04*, 28-00-05* and 53-30-04* is 3750 flights for reworked or repaired structure, and 7500 flights for a sound structure. NOTE (3): Threshold when corrosion has been found and repaired. NOTE (4): Threshold when structure is sound after a previous corrosion inspection. NOTE (5): The recommended repeat interval for operation 55-50-01 (stabilizers installed) is: - For A/C without SB 711: "every 4 years" - For A/C with SB 711: C inspection See also Chapter 5-10-00 NOTE (6): The check will be carried out on all panels every 7500 flights. The check to be carried out at 3750 flights will only concern areas in which defects were detected during the previous mapping. NOTE (7): These inspections require the mandatory SB 701 to be complied with in accordance with NOTE (8) : This task must be performed on components. The value of the interval given for each component considers its cumulated presence on one or several aircraft. Unless specified (landings for example), the unit of the interval is expressed in measurable aircraft level figures (aircraft flight hours, aircraft cycles or age) and not in component operating time.
