Falcon 50: Inspect For Cracked Rib in Baggage Compartment

August 2009

While inspecting the baggage compartment (work card 52-080) during the next 2A+, make sure to conduct a detailed visual inspection of the formed ribs inside the 850CZ panel. Duncan Aviation technicians have found the rib shown in the photos to be cracked in the radius. Since the baggage door is part of the pressure vessel and considered a principal structure element contacting Dassault for repair is required.

For questions about this and other Falcon operations, contact a Duncan Aviation Falcon Tech Rep.
