Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Aviation Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2023–04–15, which applies to certain 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X 

airplanes. AD 2023–04–15 requires 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. Since the 

FAA issued AD 2023–04–15, the FAA 

has determined that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. This proposed AD would 

continue to require the actions in AD 

2023–04–15 and would require revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is proposed for incorporation 

by reference (IBR). The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by October 13, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

commentary that the FAA receives that 

is not specifically designated as CBI will 

be placed in the public docket for this 

rulemaking. 

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2023–04–15, 

Amendment 39–22362 (88 FR 20062, 

April 5, 2023) (AD 2023–04–15), for 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
59474 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

certain Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 7X airplanes. AD 2023–04–15 

was prompted by an MCAI originated by 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent for 

the Member States of the European 

Union. EASA issued AD 2022–0142, 

dated July 7, 2022 (EASA AD 2022– 

0142) (which corresponds to FAA AD 

2023–04–15), to correct an unsafe 

condition. 

AD 2023–04–15 requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. The FAA issued AD 2023– 

04–15 to address reduced structural 

integrity and reduced control of the 

airplane due to the failure of system 

components. AD 2023–04–15 specifies 

that accomplishing the revision required 

by that AD terminates the requirements 

of paragraph (q) of AD 2014–16–23, 

Amendment 39–17947 (79 FR 52545, 

September 4, 2014) (AD 2014–16–23). 

This proposed AD would therefore 

continue to allow that terminating 

action. 

Actions Since AD 2023–04–15 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–04– 

15, EASA superseded AD 2022–0142 

and issued EASA AD 2023–0063, dated 

March 20, 2023 (EASA AD 2023–0063) 

(referred to after this as the MCAI), for 

all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

7X airplanes. The MCAI states that new 

or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations have been developed. 

Airplanes with an original 

airworthiness certificate or original 

export certificate of airworthiness 

issued after September 7, 2022, must 

comply with the airworthiness 

limitations specified as part of the 

approved type design and referenced on 

the type certificate data sheet; this 

proposed AD therefore does not include 

those airplanes in the applicability. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address reduced structural integrity and 

reduced control of the airplane due to 

the failure of system components. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1722. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2023– 

0063. This service information specifies 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This proposed AD would also require 

EASA AD 2022–0142, which the 

Director of the Federal Register 

approved for incorporation by reference 

as of May 10, 2023 (88 FR 20062, April 

5, 2023). 

This material is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in ADDRESSES. 

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 this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain all 

requirements of AD 2023–04–15. This 

proposed AD would also require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate additional new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations, 

which are specified in EASA AD 2023– 

0063 already described, as proposed for 

incorporation by reference. Any 

differences with EASA AD 2023–0063 

are identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and CDCCLs 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 (AMOC) according to 

paragraph (n)(1) of this proposed AD. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

retain the IBR of EASA AD 2022–0142 

and incorporate EASA AD 2023–0063 

by reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2023–0063 

and EASA AD 2022–0142 through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Using common terms that are the same 

as the heading of a particular section in 

EASA AD 2023–0063 or EASA AD 

2022–0142 does not mean that operators 

need comply only with that section. For 

example, where the AD requirement 

refers to ‘‘all required actions and 

compliance times,’’ compliance with 

this AD requirement is not limited to 

the section titled ‘‘Required Action(s) 

and Compliance Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 

2023–0063 or EASA AD 2022–0142. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2023–0063 and EASA AD 2022– 

0142 for compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov by searching for and 

locating Docket No. FAA–2023–1722 

after the FAA final rule is published. 

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using 

the New Process 

The FAA’s process of incorporating 

by reference MCAI ADs as the primary 

source of information for compliance 

with corresponding FAA ADs has been 

limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily 

those with service bulletins as the 

primary source of information for 

accomplishing the actions required by 

the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now 

expanding the process to include MCAI 

ADs that require a change to 

airworthiness limitation documents, 

such as airworthiness limitation 

sections. 

For these ADs that incorporate by 

reference an MCAI AD that changes 

airworthiness limitations, the FAA 

requirements are unchanged. Operators 

must revise the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate the information specified in 

the new airworthiness limitation 

document. The airworthiness 

limitations must be followed according 

to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e). 

The previous format of the 

airworthiness limitation ADs included a 

paragraph that specified that no 

alternative actions (e.g., inspections), 

intervals, or CDCCLs may be used 

unless the actions, intervals, and 

CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in 

accordance with the procedures 

specified in the AMOCs paragraph 

under ‘‘Additional AD Provisions.’’ This 

new format includes a ‘‘New Provisions 

for Alternative Actions, Intervals, and 

CDCCLs’’ paragraph that does not 

specifically refer to AMOCs, but 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2023 / Proposed Rules 59475 

operators may still request an AMOC to 

use an alternative action, interval, or 

CDCCL. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 122 

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 2021–09–12 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. 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 × $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. 

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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or 

responsible Flight Standards Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the International Validation Branch, send 

it to the attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (o) of this AD. Information may be 

emailed to: 9-AVS-AIR-730-AMOC@faa.gov. 

Before using any approved AMOC, notify 

your appropriate principal inspector, or 

lacking a principal inspector, the manager of 

the responsible Flight Standards Office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Aviation Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2023–04–13, which applies to certain 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

2000EX airplanes. AD 2023–04–13 

requires revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations. 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–04–13, 

the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This proposed 

AD would continue to require the 

actions in AD 2023–04–13 and would 

require revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference 

(IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by October 13, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:
