Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration FAA, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive AD for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X
airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that non-certified ANCRA seat tracks were installed on some airplanes and that those seat tracks might not sustain required loads during an emergency landing. This AD requires replacement of certain ANCRA seat tracks with certified Brownline seat tracks, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective August 26, 2021.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of August 26, 2021.

SUMMARY:

Background The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
20200188, dated August 24, 2020
EASA AD 20200188 also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI, to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2021 86 FR
11189. The NPRM was prompted by a report that non-certified ANCRA seat tracks were installed on some airplanes
and that those seat tracks might not sustain required loads during an emergency landing. The NPRM
proposed to require replacement of certain ANCRA seat tracks with certified Brownline seat tracks, as specified in EASA AD 20200188.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address seat tracks that could fail and lead to seat detachment during an emergency landing, which could result in injury to airplane occupants and prevent evacuation of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.
Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM.
