applicable to Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000EX, Mystere-Falcon 900 and Falcon 900EX 

airplanes. 

AD 2016-10-16 was prompted by flight testing of a developmental airplane, that concluded with 

the yaw damper working during the take-off roll, the Minimum Control Speed on Ground can be 

increased, which could result in reduced lateral control in case of an engine failure. 

Paragraph (g) of AD 2016-10-16 requires the revision of the normal procedures and the 

limitations sections ofthe Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), as applicable, to include new yaw 

damper procedures in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, 

ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA. This letter is issued to provide an approved 

MOC to the required actions of paragraph (g) in accordance with the following table:

We approve the use of the AFM procedures in the table above for compliance with the 

requirements of AD 2016-10-16 paragraph (g) and this can be accomplished by inserting a copy 

of the applicable Temporary Change (TC) or Change Proposal (CP) into the AFM. When the 

applicable TC or CP has been incorporated in the general revisions of the AFM, the general 

revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the information contained in the general 

revisions is identical to that specified in the applicable TC or CP. 

In accordance with FAA Order 8110.103, the following conditions apply to this method of 

compliance approval: 

1. All provisions of AD 2016-10-16 that are not specifically referenced above remain fully 

applicable and must be complied with accordingly. 

2. This approval is applicable only to Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 2000EX, MystereFalcon 900 and Falcon 900EX airplanes affected by AD 2016-10-16. 

3. This approval is transferable with airplane(s) to other operators. 

4. Before using this MOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
