Description

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-23-06, which applies to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. The existing AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The proposed AD continues to require certain actions from the previous AD and mandates further revisions to the maintenance or inspection program to address new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This action aims to address an unsafe condition related to the structural integrity of the airplane.
