1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2025-06-05 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-22993; Docket No. FAA-2024-2022; Project Identifier MCAI-2024-00189-T. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective May 2, 2025. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X, FALCON 900EX, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024-0072, dated March 15, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0072). Note 1 to paragraph (c): Model FALCON 7X airplanes with modification M1000 incorporated are commonly referred to as "Model FALCON 8X" airplanes as a marketing designation. Note 2 to paragraph (c): Model FALCON 900EX airplanes with modification M3083 incorporated are commonly referred to as "Model FALCON 900EX Easy, FALCON 900LX and FALCON 900DX" airplanes as a marketing designation. Note 3 to paragraph (c): Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes with modification M1691 incorporated are commonly referred to as "Model FALCON 2000EX Easy, FALCON 2000LX, FALCON 2000LXS, FALCON 2000S, and FALCON 2000DX" airplanes as a marketing designation. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 46, Information systems. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by reported occurrences of swelling of the lithium-polymer internal and external batteries of CMA-1310 electronic display units (EDUs) having part number (P/N) 100-604073-000, with a mod-status between 2 and 6 (inclusive). The FAA is proposing this AD to prevent internal and external battery swelling. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to the thermal runaway of a battery, possibly resulting in in the release of heat, smoke, fire, and explosion in the cockpit. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Requirements Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2024-0072. (h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024-0072 (1) Where EASA AD 2024-0072 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD. (2) Paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2024-0072 specifies to "replace each affected part with a serviceable part. This can be accomplished in accordance with the instructions of the SB." This AD, however, requires replacing that text with "replace each affected part with a serviceable part in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the SB." (3) This AD does not adopt the "Remarks" section of EASA AD 2024-0072. (i) Additional AD Provisions The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
