    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule that updates previous airworthiness directives for certain Dassault Aviation FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This new rule, effective March 30, 2021, builds upon a directive from 2020 and requires further amendments to maintenance and inspection programs to include additional safety limitations as specified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The purpose is to ensure these airplanes maintain structural integrity during operation. Compliance with these new requirements is mandatory for operators to address potentially unsafe conditions in the aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some airplanes stay safe, so they're telling airplane operators to add new safety checks to their regular maintenance plans, kind of like adding extra rules to make sure a playground is really, really safe to play in.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation airplanes, specifically the FALCON 7X and FALCON 2000EX models. This proposed AD is in response to a report of non-certified seat tracks being used in some airplanes, which could fail during an emergency landing, leading to injury. The directive would require the replacement of these seat tracks with certified ones, following guidelines from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The FAA seeks public comments on this proposal, which must be submitted by April 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Dassault airplanes are safe by changing certain seat parts to stronger ones, so they won't break if the plane lands hard. They're asking people to share their thoughts on this idea by April 12, 2021.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an updated Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. This new AD supersedes a previous directive, requiring regular inspections and potential replacements of wing anti-ice outboard flexible hoses due to reports of damage likely caused during installation. The FAA introduced a new life limit for these hoses and aims to address conditions that could lead to a loss of control if not properly maintained. This directive is effective starting March 31, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants all Falcon 10 airplane owners to keep checking and maybe swap out special hoses on the plane's wings because if they get hurt, it might make flying unsafe. They've made a rule to do this to help make sure flying stays safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive for certain Dassault Aviation airplanes, including the FALCON 7X, 900EX, and 2000EX models. This directive comes after reports of battery swelling in some electronic display units, which pose a safety risk like heat, smoke, and fires. The FAA's rule requires modifications to the affected units to prevent this issue and bans installing any faulty parts. This new regulation, effective May 2, 2025, ensures aviation safety by addressing these specific battery problems.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule for some Dassault airplanes because the batteries in some screens might get puffy and cause trouble. They want to fix this so the airplanes stay safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received a petition from Dassault Aviation seeking an exemption from certain Federal Aviation Regulations. The exemption would allow the installation of doors between the galley and the passenger cabin on Falcon 6X airplanes used in part 135 operations. This notice is aimed at increasing public awareness and participation in FAA's regulatory activities and invites comments on the petition by February 23, 2021. Comments can be submitted through various methods, including electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says that Dassault Aviation wants to add doors between parts of the airplane where people sit and cook on its Falcon 6X planes, and they're asking people to share their thoughts about it by a certain date.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes, due to problems with crew oxygen mask stowage boxes. This directive mandates the inspection and possible replacement of certain stowage boxes that may have been assembled incorrectly, posing a risk of blocked oxygen flow, which could potentially lead to pilot oxygen deprivation and loss of plane control. The directive takes effect on February 22, 2021, and comments are due by March 22, 2021. The AD implements procedures specified in an emergency directive by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says that some boxes that store pilot oxygen masks on certain airplanes might not be put together right, which could stop oxygen from getting to pilots, so they need to be checked and possibly fixed to keep everyone safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that replaces the previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) concerning all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 airplanes. This updated rule requires changes to the maintenance or inspection programs to incorporate more stringent airworthiness limitations outlined by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The new AD is intended to address safety concerns by introducing stricter maintenance protocols. This change is effective from March 31, 2021, and aims to prevent unsafe conditions related to the operation of these aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure Dassault airplanes are extra safe by changing the rules on how they should be checked and fixed, following new advice from Europe's airplane safety group, starting March 31, 2021. This keeps everyone safer when flying these planes.
