EASA 2019-0084

Requires replacement of fire extinguisher percussion cartridges with P/Ns 862700-00 or 862710-00 and manufacturing dates of 10 or more years. EASA found that the Dassault aircraft maintenance manuals for Falcon 50, 900/900EX, and 2000/2000EX mention that “combined service/storage life” of these affected parts is 12 years, whereas it should be 10 years. The related technical investigation confirmed that this could have a safety impact in case of fire, the agency said.
