Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Dassault Model Falcon 2000 series airplanes. This action requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with procedures for monitoring and properly setting the fuel booster pump pressure; and repetitive visual inspections of the fuel lines to detect fatigue cracking and fuel leakage. This action also requires a one-time inspection of the fuel lines to detect cracking, replacement of any discrepant part with a new part, and installation of new brackets between the pressure switch and the fuel pump of the numbers 1 and 2 engines, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections and the AFM revision. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking of the fuel line at the pressure switch pickoff point, which could result in fuel leakage and potential engine fire.
