The FAA is proposing to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Dassault Falcon 2000, 2000EX, 900 and 900EX. The proposed AD was prompted by reports of a copilot sliding aft on his seat at rotation during takeoff. The AD would require replacement of certain springs installed on the pilot and copilot seats to prevent fatigue wear, which, if not corrected, could cause the seat to slide and the pilot or copilot to lose contact with the controls, leading to an inadvertent input on the flight control commands.
