This opportunity involves proposed airworthiness directives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), part of the Department of Transportation, targeting two major aircraft OEMs: Dassault Aviation and The Boeing Company. - Government Buyer: - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Office of Rulemaking and Aircraft Certification Service - OEMs and Vendors: - Dassault Aviation (FALCON 2000EX) - The Boeing Company (747-400 series) - Products/Services Requested: - Revision of maintenance or inspection programs for Dassault FALCON 2000EX (315 U.S. airplanes affected) - Incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations per EASA AD 20260041 and EASA AD 20230100 - Repetitive inspections for water leaks in potable and waste water lines on Boeing 747-400 series freighters - Includes on-condition actions to prevent electrical equipment bay damage - Unique or Notable Requirements: - Compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and inspection protocols - Direct reference to European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directives - Focus on structural integrity and prevention of unsafe conditions - No specific product purchases; requirements are regulatory and maintenance-focused

Description

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