Falcon 2000EX EASy Maintenance Inspections
The Falcon 2000EX EASy maintenance cycle is based on several types of inspections:
- Basic inspection: every 200 flight hours or 2 months, whichever is reached first
- “12M”/”24M”/”36M” inspection: every 12/24/36 months
- 12 month or 800 flight hours inspection: every 12 months or 800 flight hours, whichever limit is reached first
- B inspection: every 1,600 flight hours
- C inspection: every 3,750 flight cycles or 6 years, whichever limit is reached first
Please consult the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Basic Inspection
Must be performed every 200 flight hours or 2 months, whichever limit is reached first.*
The Basic Inspection is a very simple inspection that includes mainly a walk-around inspection, reading of the maintenance messages, and operational checks.
* Check the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Estimated Lead Time: 3 days
Estimated Downtime: 1 day
Lead times and downtimes vary depending on which level of service is being performed.
“12M”/”24M”/”36M” Inspections
Must be performed every 12, 24, or 36 months.**
The purpose of the “12M”/”24M”/”36M” inspection is to ensure periodic verification of the aircraft condition regardless of utilization rate.
Three inspections are defined in this category:
- “12M” inspections – every 12 months**
- “24M” inspections – every 24 months**
- “36M” inspections – every 36 months**
** Check the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Lead times and downtimes vary depending on which level of service is being performed. Contact your Dassault Falcon Jet Service Center Regional Sales Manager for downtime.
“12M or 800FH” Inspections
Must be performed every 12 months or 800 flight hours, whichever is reached first.**
The purpose of the “12M or 800FH” inspection is to ensure periodic verification of the aircraft condition.
Three inspections are defined in this category:
- “12M or 800FH” inspections – every 12 months or 800 flight hours, whichever is reached first**
- “24M or 1600FH” inspections – every 24 months or 1600 flight hours, whichever is reached first**
- “36M or 2400FH” inspections – every 36 months or 2400 flight hours, whichever is reached first**
** Check the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Lead times and downtimes vary depending on which level of service is being performed. Contact your Dassault Falcon Jet Service Center Regional Sales Manager for downtime.
B Inspection
Must be performed every 1,600 flight hours.*
The purpose of the B inspection is to ensure operational and/or functional capabilities of systems whose condition is related to flight hours.
* Check the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Estimated Lead Time: 14 days
Estimated Downtime: 6 – 7 days
Lead times and downtimes vary depending on which level of service is being performed.
C Inspection
Must be performed every 3,750 flight cycles or 6 years, whichever is reached first.*
The purpose of the C inspection is to perform a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft and systems. This is the most wide-ranging inspection on the Falcon aircraft.
- Dassault Falcon Jet has several facilities that are capable of performing “C” Inspections:
- The Dassault Falcon Jet facilities have the required tooling, trained technicians, and significant experience to complete the “C” inspection with minimum downtime.
- All projects completed by the Dassault Falcon Jet Service Centers are managed through the “AMOS” process. A standardized process across the Dassault Falcon Jet MRO network created to ensure the best results for your aircraft service.
* Check the most recent revision to the maintenance manual for current maintenance schedules and allowable tolerances.
Estimated Lead Time: 30 – 45 days
Estimated Downtime: 20 – 32 days
Lead times and downtimes vary depending on which level of service is being performed.
Optimized Continuous Inspection Program (OCIP)
At the request of operators, Dassault Aviation has developed an Optimized Continuous Inspections Program, which is customized for each operator covering the A, or A and B inspections and multiples. These maintenance programs are an option available for operators who request it from the manufacturer. In order to satisfy a maximum number of operators, two cycles have been retained:
- High rate of use: >600 flying hours per year
- Low and medium rate of use: <600 flying hours per year
Estimated Downtime
The lead times and downtimes listed in each section above are general estimates only. Please contact your Dassault Falcon Jet Service Center Regional Sales Manager for schedule and lead time of the total project on your aircraft.
