SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2018-19-25 and AD 2014-03-12, which apply to all Dassault Aviation
Model FALCON 2000 airplanes. Those ADs require revising the maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new maintenance
requirements and airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD
2018-19-25, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Discussion

The FAA issued AD 2018-19-25, Amendment 39-19426 (83 FR 48924,
September 28, 2018) ("AD 2018-19-25"), for all Dassault Aviation
Model FALCON 2000 airplanes. AD 2018-19-25 requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. AD 2018-19-25
resulted from a determination that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA issued AD 2018-19-25
to address reduced controllability of the airplane. AD 2018-19-25
specified that accomplishing the actions required by that AD would
terminate the requirements of AD 2014-03-12, Amendment 39-17749 (79 FR
11693, March 3, 2014) ("AD 2014-03-12"); however, AD 2014-03-12 was
not superseded by that AD.

Actions Since AD 2018-19-25 Was Issued

Since the FAA issued AD 2018-19-25, the FAA has determined that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2019-0131, dated June 11, 2019 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or "the MCAI"), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000
airplanes. The MCAI states:

The airworthiness limitations for Falcon 2000 aeroplanes, which
are approved by EASA, are currently defined and published in
Dassault Falcon 2000 AMM [Aircraft Maintenance Manual], Chapter 5-
40. These instructions have been identified as mandatory for
continued airworthiness.

Failure to accomplish these instructions could result in an
unsafe condition.

EASA previously issued AD 2017-0236 [which corresponds to FAA AD
2018-19-25], requiring the actions described in Dassault Falcon 2000
AMM Chapter 5-40 (DGT 113876) at Revision 18.

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Dassault published Revisions 19
and 20 of Dassault Falcon 2000 AMM Chapter 5-40 (DGT 113876).
Revision 20 contains new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks.

For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0236, which is superseded, and requires
accomplishment of the actions specified in the [Airworthiness
Limitations Section] ALS, as defined in this [EASA] AD.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.
regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0700.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

Dassault Aviation has issued Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness
Limitations, Revision 20, dated November 2018, of the Dassault Aviation
Falcon 2000 Maintenance Manual. This service information describes
airworthiness limitations for safe life limits.

This proposed AD would also require Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness
Limitations, DGT 113876, Revision 19, dated November 2017, of the
Dassault Falcon 2000 Maintenance Manual, which the Director of the
Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of November
2, 2018 (83 FR 48924, September 28, 2018).

This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2018-19-25.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations.

This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(l)(1) of this proposed AD.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information


The MCAI specifies that if there are findings from the
airworthiness limitations section (ALS) inspection tasks, corrective
actions must be accomplished in accordance with Dassault Aviation
maintenance documentation. However, this proposed AD does not include
that requirement. Operators of U.S.-registered airplanes are required
by general airworthiness and operational regulations to perform
maintenance using methods that are acceptable to the FAA. The FAA
considers those methods to be adequate to address any corrective
actions necessitated by the findings of ALS inspections required by
this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 200 airplanes of
U.S. registry.

The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2018-19-25 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).

The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the
FAA recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. In
the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per
airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program
changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-
operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate.

The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: "General
requirements." Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:

(1) Is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive
Order 12866,

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and

(3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
