INTRODUCTION Aircraft Evaluation Groups (AEG) are responsible for working with aircraft manufacturers and modifiers, during the development and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification of new and modified aircraft to determine: 1) The pilot type rating, 2) Flightcrew member training, checking, and currency requirements, and 3) Operational suitability.

This report lists those determinations for use by: 1) FAA employees who approve training programs, 2) FAA employees and designees who certify airmen, and 3) Aircraft operators and training providers, to assist them in developing their flightcrew member training, checking and currency.

3. HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGE This revision includes several updates: • This revision converts this document to the new Flight Standardization Board Report (FSBR) format and complies with Section 508. Change bars are not included in this document because the entire report is revised and updated.

• Appendix 2, Master Differences Requirements Table has been updated to include the expanded menu of EASy certification versions.

• Appendix 4, Head-Up Display. A brief description of the Falcon 8X Dual HUD M-OPT0739 option and one resulting training emphasis item has been added. Also, several Falcon Eye HUD special emphasis items have been removed as updated software revisions have made them unnecessary.

• Appendix 7, EASy II Avionics has been updated with additional background information.

• Appendix 8, EASy III Avionics was added for Honeywell Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) III software changes, which were subsequent to the original EASy III certification (Dassault Aviation modification M1254 (EASy III-1)). Dassault Aviation modifications M1745 (EASy III-2) and M1925 (EASy III-3) are new to this revision.

Page 3 of 60 • Appendix 9, Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) was added for the RNP AR approach capability introduced by Dassault Aviation modification M1925 (EASy III-3rd Cert) (limited to RNP 0.3) and Option M-OPT0767 (extends to RNP 0.1).

• Appendix 10, EASy IV Avionics was added for Honeywell Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) IV software changes. Dassault Aviation modifications M2055 (EASy IV-1 for 8X) is new to this revision.

4. BACKGROUND The Seattle AEG formed a Flight Standardization Board (FSB) that evaluated the Falcon 7X as defined in FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) #A59NM equipped with the original Honeywell Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) I. The evaluation was conducted in 2007 using the methods described in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-53, Crew Qualification and Pilot Type Rating Requirements for Transport Category Aircraft Operated under FAR Part 121.

Subsequently, The FSB conducted an evaluation of the EASy II avionics upgrade. EASy II, as well as the associated Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) addition, was found to be operationally suitable. Training and checking requirements are listed in Appendix 7, EASy II Avionics. All 7X aircraft currently in service have since been brought up to the EASy II standard.

Beginning in April 2016, the FSB conducted evaluations of the Falcon 8X. The Falcon 8X is a commercial designation for a variation of the Falcon 7X incorporating modifications M1000 and M1254 EASy III first certification (EASy III-1) installed in production. It, as well as the associated Falcon 8X AFM, was found to be operationally suitable.

In 2017, Dassault Aviation upgraded 8X avionics with M1745 to EASy III second certification (EASy III-2).

In 2020, Dassault Aviation upgraded 8X avionics with M1925 to EASy III third certification (EASy III-3). Training and checking requirements for EASy III Avionics are listed in Appendix 8.

In 2022, Dassault Aviation upgraded 8X avionics with M2055 to EASy IV first certification (EASy IV-1). Training and checking requirements for EASy IV Avionics are listed in Appendix 10.

Page 11 of 60 13.6 Close-In Noise Abatement Departure Procedure (NADP). Some airports requiring a steep approach procedure may also require a noise abatement procedure. The FSB at the request of Dassault Aviation, evaluated an NADP developed by Dassault Aviation for the Falcon 7X. The NADP, as evaluated by the FSB, requires a thrust reduction at 400 feet above airport elevation after takeoff and the PATH angle to be set (reference Crew Operational Documentation for Dassault EASy (CODDE) 2) This procedure has been found suitable by the FSB and does not contradict AC 91-53A, Noise Abatement Departure Profiles. This paragraph is also applicable to the Falcon 8X.

APPENDIX 4. HEAD-UP DISPLAY 1. BACKGROUND This appendix pertains to Rockwell Collins Head-Up Guidance System (HGS) 5860 installed in the Falcon 7X and the FalconEye Head-Up Display (HUD) installed in the Falcon 8X.

Additional training requirements for these systems equipped with enhanced flight vision systems (EFVS) and/or Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) are described in Appendix 5, HUD with Enhanced Flight and/or Synthetic Visions Systems. In 2022, a dual HUD configuration became available with M-OPT0739. This configuration allows both pilots the increased awareness afforded by the HUD presentation, especially when used in conjunction with EFVS and/or SVS.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING The pilot type rating for aircraft designated as DA-7X remains unchanged with the Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 or FalconEye HUD installed.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not Applicable.

4. PILOT TRAINING Prior to HUD use, in any weather or operation, pilots should be trained in accordance with the requirements listed in this Flight Standardization Board (FSB) report. Ground and flight (simulator or aircraft) training is required. Unless covered concurrently during an initial or transition type rating course, a prerequisite to beginning this course is prior training, qualification, and currency in the DA-7X airplane. This training program focuses primarily on the pilot flying (PF), but pilot monitoring (PM) indoctrination and training is also essential. Where there are procedural differences for the PM when the PF is using the HUD, training of PM duties in the right seat is required.

See Appendix 5 for EFVS/SVS training requirements. Training centers may develop courses that combine HUD and EFVS/SVS training.

NOTE: Dassault documentation includes references to the pilot not flying (PNF). For the purposes of this document, the terms “PNF” and “PM” are used synonymously.

The recommended duration of ground training is 4 hours. The recommended duration of flight training per crew position is 2 hours. However, pilots who have completed PF training need not complete any PM training since callouts in the PM position remain the same regardless of HUD use. Training centers may develop courses that consider prior HUD experience to reduce the duration requirement.

The training program described here is generic in nature. It does not establish training requirements. Each operator has unique requirements, route structures, fleet composition, and Page 28 of 60 operational policies to consider in developing their training program. Therefore, training described here is to assist an operator tailoring a HUD training program to fit their specific operation or approved operations specifications (OpSpecs).

This training can be conducted as a standalone course or integrated into any training curriculum (i.e., initial, transition, upgrade, recurrent). If part of a curriculum, the FSB recommends conducting this training early to allow as much use of the HUD as practical during the remaining training.

For operational approval, system limitations, normal operating procedures, and Abnormal/Emergency procedures, refer to the respective Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Supplement, Crew Operational Documentation for Dassault EASy (CODDE), and Quick Reference Handbook (QRH).

4.1 Ground Training. Ground training can be instructor led or provided through computer- based training (CBT). An initial ground training program should include the following elements: 4.1.1 General.

• HUD equipment.

• HUD controls.

• HUD modes of operation.

• HUD symbology, including the interrelationship with airplane aerodynamics, limit conditions and failures, inertial factors, and environmental conditions.

• Operational concepts, crew duties and responsibilities, crew coordination, callouts and responses, and operational procedures including preflight, normal, and non-normal pilot activities.

• Description of the availability and limitations of visual cues encountered on approach both before and after decision altitude (DA). This would include: • Procedures for unexpected deterioration of conditions to less than minimum Runway Visual Range (RVR) encountered during approach, flare, and rollout.

• Demonstration of expected visual references with weather at minimum conditions.

• Expected sequence of visual cues during an approach in which visibility is at or above landing minima.

4.1.2 Category II or III Approaches. If the HUD is used as a Category (CAT) II/CAT III landing system, emphasis on the need for rigorous crew discipline, coordination, and adherence to procedural guidelines as is required for other CAT II/CAT III landing systems. For operators wishing credit for low visibility operations predicated on use of the HUD, additional training should include: • Narrative descriptions and several low weather approach demonstrations with procedural callouts and responses. All critical procedural callout possibilities should be covered.

Page 29 of 60 • Information on the operational characteristics, capabilities, limitations of the ground facilities (i.e., Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS)), and airborne CAT III system.

• Operator policies and procedures concerning low visibility operations including the reporting process, Minimum Equipment List (MEL) issues, operation following a missed approach, Operating Experience (OE), and currency requirements.

• Consideration of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-28D, Criteria for Approval of Category III Weather Minima for Takeoff, Landing, and Rollout, and AC 120-29A, Criteria for Approval of Category I and Category II Weather Minima for Approach, as applicable.

4.1.3 Areas of Special Emphasis: 4.1.3.1 Rockwell Collins HUD Only.

Distance measuring equipment (DME) distance during lateral approach procedures with vertical guidance (LPV) approach. The crew must be aware that the DME distance displayed in the Rockwell Collins HUD during LPV approach must be disregarded, as per AFM procedure, until a HUD fix is available (DME distance displayed in the integrated primary flight display (IPFD) remains correct).

4.1.3.2 FalconEye Only.

a) Lateral Deviation Scale. Crew must be aware that during a localizer interception following a flight management system (FMS) arrival, two lateral deviation scales (with no labels) are displayed: the lower scale is active (full pointer) for FMS deviation, and the upper scale is armed (empty pointer) until localizer interception.

b) FalconEye HUD must only be used in the standard inertial reference system (IRS) configuration. Until a HUD fix is available, HUD can only be used in the standard IRS configuration: IRS 1 selected on LH side, IRS 2 selected on RH side, HUD stowed in all other configurations.

c) Controls Localization and Accessibility. PF must be aware of HUD front panel controls localization and accessibility in day and night conditions.

d) When in Dual HUD operations, pilot monitoring (PM) must provide adequate standard visual scanning on all head-down display units.

4.2 Flight Training. Unless integrated with initial or transition training, flight training dedicated to HUD familiarization and proficiency is in addition to other required elements.

Page 30 of 60 Flight training should include a variety of ground and airborne system failures requiring pilot recognition and appropriate procedural actions. Demonstrated system/component failures could include flap asymmetry problems, engine out operations, HUD sensor failures, etc. Demonstrate how HUD failure modes can reduce precision and increase pilot workload unless PF/PM duties and responsibilities are clearly delineated and understood.

NOTE: When a simulator is used, training should be conducted in FAA-approved Level C or D simulators with HUD installed.

4.2.1 Takeoff. Emphasis should be placed on the pilot’s ability to transition from using outside visual cues to utilizing the HUD during the takeoff roll and departure.

Emphasis should also be placed on the HUD symbology relevant to takeoff and departure operations.

NOTE: Per OpSpecs, air carrier takeoff operations below 1600 RVR are only permitted with certain limitations and provisions. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91 operators are not restricted in the same manner, but should be trained to understand the hazards associated with departing in a low visibility environment, as well as possible safety mitigations.

4.2.2 Airwork. Emphasis should be placed on HUD unique symbology (i.e., flight path, flight path acceleration, airspeed error tape, angle of attack (AOA) limit bracket, and excessive pitch chevrons). When this training is complete, the trainee should have a thorough understanding of the relationship between aircraft flight path parameters and the HUD symbology.

4.2.3 Visual Approaches. Emphasis should be placed on the HUD symbology relevant to approach and landing operations and optimizing circling approach techniques and procedures. Approaches should begin beyond 3 nautical miles (NM) to the runway threshold.

NOTE: Approaches should be flown at various airports with dissimilar runway lighting systems.

4.2.4 Instrument Approaches. Emphasis should be placed on the pilot’s ability to transition from utilizing the HUD during approach to using outside visual cues for landing. Instructors should demonstrate failures and incorrect settings on approach (e.g., incorrect runway elevation, airspeed, inbound course). Instructors should also demonstrate unique symbology characteristics in windshear conditions (e.g., erratic wind speed and direction, flight path acceleration, airspeed errors) All required instrument approaches should be begin outside the final approach fix (FAF).

4.2.5 Additional Operational Considerations. Following initial training, pilots should gain proficiency utilizing the HUD in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prior to utilizing the HUD in low visibility operations. Although part 91 operators are not required to comply with air carrier requirements, it is worth noting the Page 31 of 60 additional experience required by air carriers to utilize the HUD in line operations.

4.2.6 In all cases, air carrier operators must comply with their OpSpecs regarding authorization to conduct HUD operations. Although requirements may differ, typically air carrier pilots are required to complete OE within 60 days of completing HUD training.

4.3 Multiple Curricula Training Programs (Reduced Planned Hour Training Programs). The FSB has determined that the Rockwell or FalconEye HUD systems installed in the DA-7X shares common characteristics with the same HUD system installed in the DA-EASy (all variations) and the DA-2EASy (all variations). It may be possible, in accordance with FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 3, Chapter 19, Section 1, Scope, Concepts, and Definitions, to develop reduced planned hour HUD training programs for pilots who hold the respective type rating and have completed training in the respective HUD system.

5. PILOT CHECKING Pilot checking requirements are dependent upon the training program objectives, and operational parts and will be defined by each training program.

6. PILOT RECURRENT TRAINING For pilots who have previously completed HUD initial training, in conjunction with a pilot in command (PIC) proficiency check required by 14 CFR parts 61, 121, or 135, a PIC must demonstrate proficiency using the appropriate HUD system.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY The FSB has evaluated the Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 and the FalconEye HUD and find them operationally suitable for HUD operations under parts 91, 121, and 135.

APPENDIX 5. HUD WITH ENHANCED FLIGHT AND/OR SYNTHETIC VISIONS SYSTEMS 1. BACKGROUND This appendix addresses Head-Up Display (HUD) systems with additional capabilities, including enhanced flight vision systems (EFVS), Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS), or a combination of the two. Specifically, this pertains to Rockwell Collins Head-Up Guidance System (HGS) 5860 and the FalconEye HUD installed in the DA-7X.

The operational goal of EFVS and SVS is to improve aviation safety during operations at night and in low visibility conditions due to weather or other environmental factors. Pilots using EFVS and SVS should be careful not to conclude that the flight path is free of hazards merely because none are visible in the HUD. In some situations, imaging sensor performance can be variable and unpredictable.

The requirements in this report are for the use of this equipment for situational awareness.

The FalconEye HUD (Mark 1) and the Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 has been evaluated and approved for operational credit during instrument approach operations under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91, § 91.176(b). The requirements defined in 14 CFR part 61, § 61.66 and § 91.176 must be met prior to taking operational credit for EFVS equipment when conducting operations below decision altitude (DA) or minimum descent altitude (MDA) or for applying visual advantage.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING The pilot type rating for aircraft designated as DA-7X remains unchanged with the Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 or FalconEye HUD installed with EFVS, SVS, or combined vision system (CVS).

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.

4. PILOT TRAINING In order to use a HUD system with advanced features, pilots must first be trained to conduct HUD operations. See Appendix 4 for HUD training requirements. Training centers may develop courses that combine HUD and EFVS/SVS training.

For operational approval, system limitations, normal operating procedures, and Abnormal/Emergency procedures, refer to the respective Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Supplement, Crew Operational Documentation for Dassault EASy (CODDE) and quick reference handbook (QRH).

All EFVS and SVS training can be conducted as a standalone course or integrated into any training curriculum (i.e., initial, transition, upgrade, recurrent). If part of a curriculum, the Page 33 of 60 FSB recommends conducting this training early to allow as much use of the system as practical during the remaining training.

Flight training is required and must be provided in an aircraft or an FAA-approved simulator qualified to Level C with a daylight visual system or to Level D with the appropriate HUD system installed. The EFVS standards must at least meet the requirements contained in the Guidance Bulletin 03-03, Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) FSTD Qualification, issued by the National Simulator Program Branch or any other relevant regulation.

The simulator provides the ideal EFVS training environment and its use is preferred for this training. Simulators provide the ability to change training locations, set specific weather minimums, and change weather rapidly and significantly to provide a greater variety of training situations. They also provide the ability to freeze the training, allowing the student to positively identify the differences between enhanced and natural vision at key times. Aircraft training is acceptable, but operators need to understand and account for these limitations.

Pilots must also be aware that the visual contrast in simulators is often better than in the aircraft.

When able, training should be conducted to/from airfields with a mountainous environment in order to demonstrate the benefit of various technologies (e.g., St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada (CYYT), Aspen, Colorado (KASE)).

The recommended duration of ground training is 4 hours. The recommended duration of flight training per crew position is 2 hours. However, pilots who have completed pilot flying (PF) (i.e., left seat) training need not complete any pilot monitoring (PM) training since callouts in the PM position remain the same regardless of HUD use. Training centers may develop courses that consider prior HUD experience to reduce the duration requirement.

A list of applicable regulation requirements should be displayed for the trainees (e.g., § 91.176, 14 CFR part 135, § 135.225).

4.1 EFVS. In order to use the EFVS in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), the PF and PM should complete an approved training program meeting the specifications below. The training program should primarily focus on the PF, but PM indoctrination and training is also essential. Where there are procedural differences for the PM when the PF is using the HUD, training of PM duties in the right seat is required. Operating procedures described in CODDE 2 should be used as a reference concerning the crew tasks allocations, callouts and recommended displays of Enhanced Vision System (EVS) image. Focus must be made on crew coordination, especially concerning the minima annunciation (unless the operator has a specific approved procedure).

All EFVS training should address the following areas of special emphasis: 4.1.1 Infrared Theory and Aassociated Limitations. The PF should be made aware of the general infrared theory and the characteristics of the EFVS image, including the dependency of the image on the weather conditions, thermal crossover (not exhaustive). The trainee should be made aware of the effect of rain (roman candles …) which may degrade the EFVS image and require it to be removed.

Page 34 of 60 4.1.2 Low Altitude Flight Maneuver. Under certain meteorological conditions (night clear sky) the quality of the image gives the PF the impression that he or she can fly the aircraft trajectory through the image. The PF should be made aware that this is false. Furthermore, in bad weather conditions, if the aircraft trajectory was flown through the image, the PF would have a natural tendency to « dive » into the runway. Some approaches not aligned along the runway axis would necessitate low altitude flight maneuvers to recover runway axis, which is to be avoided using the image.

4.1.3 Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) Lights. The PF should be made aware about PAPI indication through the EFVS: PAPI always shows four white lights in HUD/EVS image, indicating HIGH even if the aircraft is on the correct descent slope, which could make the PF descend for the 2 RED/2 WHITE, which never appears.

4.1.4 Crosswind Approaches. The PF should be made aware of the characteristics of the EFVS display during approaches made in crosswind conditions.

NOTE: For the purposes of this section, the acronyms “EFVS”, and “EVS” are used synonymously.

4.2 Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 with EFVS.

4.2.1 See Appendix 4 for HUD training recommendations.

4.2.2 EFVS. Ground and flight training should include the elements in § 61.66(a)(2) and (b)(2) and the current edition of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 90-106, Enhanced Flight Vision Systems, as applicable.

4.2.3 General training should include: 4.2.3.1 The DA-7X operational documentation and procedures related to the Model 5860 (i.e., CODDE 1, 2, 3, AFM, Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)) including: • Limitations.

• Tasks and callouts.

• Pilot controls and operational recommendations.

4.2.3.2 Rockwell Collins Model 5860 Handbook.

4.2.4 Areas of Special Emphasis. Training should emphasize the following: 4.2.4.1 No Deviation from Standard Escape Procedures. The pilot must be made aware that EVS image may not be used to deviate from standard escape procedures contained in Dassault Aviation Limitations, Operating Procedures, and Performances, when enhanced ground proximity warning Page 35 of 60 system (EGPWS), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), or windshear warnings are triggered.

4.2.4.2 Crew Coordination. PM in right seat should be trained with a PF in the left seat during the EVS pilot training course. Concerning human factors, to avoid tunnel effect or any other anomalies affecting the PF’s perception, the task of the PM is very important in the final approach phase when the real scene appears through the EVS image. The callouts from both pilots during this phase of flight are critical.

4.2.4.3 Visual Contrast in Full Flight Simulator (FFS) Compared to in Aircraft.

Pilots must be advised that the visual contrasts in the FFS are better than those in the aircraft.

4.2.4.4 Areas of Special Emphasis for Operational Credits: a) Sensorial Illusions. During EFVS ground course (“operational credits” part), the trainees should be made aware of the effects of lack of peripheral vision, which are sensorial illusions and image fascination. These effects give the rationale for not flying the aircraft trajectory through the EFVS image but flying it using the flight director (FD) until natural vision is acquired. The EFVS image is used to back up the lateral alignment and the touchdown point on the runway.

b) Possible Automatic Callouts Delay. The trainee should be made aware of the importance of the PM callout “EVS MINIMUM” at the EVS minimum because of possible delays in automatic EFVS callouts due to prioritization of others automatic callouts (e.g., callout of autopilot disconnection).

c) Low Altitude Flight Maneuver. Under certain meteorological conditions (night clear sky), the quality of the image gives the pilot the impression that he or she can fly the aircraft trajectory through the image. The trainee should be made aware that this is false.

Furthermore, in bad weather conditions, if the aircraft trajectory was flown through the image, the pilot would have a natural tendency to dive into the runway. Some approaches not aligned along the runway axis would necessitate low altitude flight maneuvers to recover runway axis, which is to be avoided using the image.

d) Eligibility of Runway for EFVS Approach. Based on approach charts, the trainee should be capable of recognizing runways eligible for EFVS approaches with “operational credits” from those runways not eligible. For example, discuss one eligible nonprecision approach and one ineligible nonprecision approach and explain.

Page 36 of 60 e) Role of the Kill/Dim Switch. In addition to check of proper operating condition, the trainee should be made aware that the use of the kill/dim switch before arriving at minima is useful for transitioning from EFVS to visual, as it improves the “see through”.

4.3 FalconEye HUD/SVS/EVS/CVS. In addition to providing flight guidance information, the FalconEye HUD system combines synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping (SVS) along with thermal and low-light camera images (EVS) to provide additional information to increase the pilot’s situational awareness. In order to ensure that pilots are able to safely operate the HUD in all phases of flight, training must include detailed information on the following: 4.3.1 See Appendix 4 for HUD training recommendations. Training centers may develop courses that consider prior HUD experience to reduce the duration requirement.

4.3.2 EVS. Ground and flight training should include the elements in § 61.66(a)(2) and (b)(2) and the current edition of AC 90-106, as applicable.

4.3.3 SVS.

• SVS concepts.

• Database information.

• Terrain.

• Obstacles.

• Airports and other ground features.

• Display symbology.

• Pilot controls (control panel, yoke, high/low selector) and recommended settings.

4.3.4 CVS.

• CVS concepts.

• System architecture.

• Pilot controls and recommended settings.

4.3.5 Areas of Special Emphasis: 4.3.5.1 Crew Coordination. PM should be trained with a PF during the EVS/SVS/CVS pilot training course. Concerning human factors, to avoid tunnel effect or any other anomalies affecting the PF’s perception, the task of the PM is very important in the final approach phase when the real scene appears through the EVS/CVS image. The callouts from both pilots during this phase of flight are critical.

4.3.5.2 No Deviation from Standard Escape Procedures. The pilot must be made aware that SVS/EVS/CVS image shall never be used to deviate from Page 37 of 60 standard escape procedures contained in Dassault Aviation Limitations, Operating Procedures, and Performances, when EGPWS, TCAS, or windshear warnings are triggered.

4.3.5.3 PF Perception of Weather Conditions. Crew must be aware that the display of an SVS or CVS image in the HUD may impair PF vision of actual weather conditions.

4.3.5.4 SVS Runway Clear Zone Activation. Crew must be aware that the SVS Runway Clear Zone is not activated in HUD until V-Speeds have been sent to EASy (via the Send soft key in the FMW Landing Data tab).

Otherwise, outside visual references or EVS image could be masked by the SVS image.

4.3.5.5 EVS Contrast Setting. PF must be proficient at using EVS contrast settings in order to improve the rendering of EVS image details in various lighting and weather conditions.

4.3.5.6 Possible Misalignment Cases. Crew must be aware that the conformal runway may not exactly coincide with the real runway; crew should be ready to remove it when visual cues are to be acquired. Also, SVS image may be shifted; although SVS image and Conformal Runway can be removed, shifted runway axis remains.

4.3.5.7 Video Quality. PF must be aware that video quality is impacted when dimmed with the XVS brightness on the stick.

4.4 Flight Operations Following Training Completion.

4.4.1 Due to the significant amount of information presented on the FalconEye HUD with EVS/SVS/CVS, the FSB recommends that pilots limit FalconEye use in flight until the following in-aircraft flight experience using the FalconEye is completed in sequence: 1. Approximately 5 hours above flight level (FL) 180, then 2. Approximately 5 hours below FL 180, then 3. Five takeoffs, five approaches (including satellite (i.e., Area Navigation (RNAV)) and ground based (i.e., instrument landing system (ILS)) procedures), and five landings in visual meteorological conditions (VMC).

4.4.2 Training courses should include these recommendations and encourage pilots to increase their proficiency prior to conducting takeoffs, approaches, and landings in low IMC.

Page 38 of 60 4.5 Multiple Curricula Training Programs (Reduced Planned Hour Training Programs). The FSB has determined that the Rockwell or FalconEye HUD systems installed in the DA-7X shares common characteristics with the same HUD system installed in the DA-EASY (all variations) and the DA-2EASY (all variations). It may be possible, in accordance with FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 3, Chapter 19, Section 1, Scope, Concepts, and Definitions, to develop reduced planned hour HUD training programs for pilots who hold a respective type rating and have completed training in the respective HUD system.

5. PILOT CHECKING At the completion of the ground school segment, each trainee should be evaluated through a written test, checking the successful completion of the training performance objectives in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Additional pilot checking requirements are dependent upon the training program objectives, and operational parts and will be defined by each training program.

6. PILOT CURRENCY While the AFM establishes no explicit requirement regarding continuing qualification, it is strongly recommended that pilots use the EFVS, SVS, and/or CVS frequently enough in flight to retain proficiency in its operation. HUD, EFVS, and SVS proficiency can be maintained if all are used on a regular basis. Apart from the requirements listed in this appendix, EFVS, SVS, and/or CVS training should emphasize the need to perform HUD, EFVS, SVS and/or CVS operations as regularly as possible during normal operations, especially during takeoff, approach, and landing phases of flight.

Procedures should be addressed in recurrent training.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY The FSB has evaluated the Rockwell Collins HGS 5860 with EFVS and the FalconEye HUD with EFVS/SVS/CVS and find them operationally suitable under parts 91, 121, and 135. This FSBR does not grant operational approval for EFVS operations under 14 CFR § 91.176.

APPENDIX 6. STEEP APPROACH LANDING OPERATIONS 1. BACKGROUND A Flight Standardization Board (FSB) was convened in May and June 2009 to evaluate operational suitability and to determine training, checking, and currency requirements for conducting steep approach landing operations in the Falcon 7X aircraft. An FSB was again convened in March 2017 to evaluate the Falcon 8X aircraft using the same regulatory material and methodology. Supporting regulatory material is the FAA Issue Paper (IP) AEG O-8, Operational Suitability.

Steep approach landing operations in the DA-7X are defined as those glide paths greater than 4.5 degrees and less than or equal to 6.0 degrees. Dassault Aviation modifications for steep approach landing operations are defined by M194 and M196 for the Falcon 7X and M1721 for the Falcon 8X.

The FSB evaluation included numerous steep approach landing operations, both on the full flight simulator (FFS) and on the actual aircraft. London City airport (EGLC) was flown on the FFS, and Lugano airport (LSZA) was flown using the actual aircraft. Some steep approach landing operations were also flown with the actual aircraft in Istres (LFMI).

Steep approach landing operations were conducted during day and night conditions using either 5.5- or 6.0-degree approach angles. Some abuse cases up to 8.0-degree approach angle were also conducted. All engines operative and one engine inoperative (OEI) steep approach landing operations were flown, terminating either with a landing or execution of a missed approach or balked landing procedure. Although steep approach landing operations in the DA-7X must be conducted with all engines operative, the FSB evaluated piloting skills required to perform an OEI extraction should an engine fail at or below decision altitude (DA).

Evaluation approaches were performed with Autopilot on and off, Autothrottle on and off, flight director (FD) on and off, and with Head-Up Display (HUD) deployed and stowed.

In April 2018, the FSB evaluated the Falcon 8X for steep approach while displaying enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) on the FalconEye HUD (Mark 1) and found it operationally suitable for situational awareness.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING Not applicable.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.

Page 40 of 60 4. PILOT TRAINING The FSB has determined that the conduct of steep approach landing operations requires no higher piloting skill level than that of normal (3.0-degree) approaches. However, since steep approach landing operations are often tailored to demanding airports – located in mountainous areas, short runways – the FSB requires academic and flight training for competency in conducting steep approach landing operations.

Unless DA-7X steep approach training is integrated with, or occurs sequentially preceding, an initial qualification pilot proficiency check, a prerequisite to steep approach training is prior training, qualification, and currency in the DA-7X.

Any pilot in command (PIC)/second in command (SIC) who has been properly qualified in the DA-7X under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61, § 61.55, part 91, 121, or 135 may conduct steep approach landing operations provided the training, checking, and currency requirements of this appendix have been satisfactorily accomplished.

4.1 Ground Training. The following areas should be included in the training and is appropriate to any aircrew position: • Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Annex and Crew Operational Documentation for Dassault EASy (CODDE) 2 review to include: Limitations, Abnormal Procedures, Emergency Procedures, Normal Procedures, and Performance with special emphasis on increased landing distance.

• Stages of the steep approach to include: stabilized approach concept as a key success for steep approach landing, appropriate slats/flaps/airbrakes configuration, and approach speed.

• Comparison of the steep approach sight picture to that of 3.0-degree (normal) approach.

• Pilot techniques to include: avoidance of abrupt control inputs, ground rush illusion.

• Identification of airports with steep approaches to include: the specificity of airports with steep approach (e.g., the landing distance safety factor for EGLC).

4.2 Flight Training. Flight training for either aircrew position may be conducted in either a simulator or aircraft. Training must include steep approaches with and without the FD displayed. Include use of the HUD if equipped.

4.3 Special Emphasis Areas. Training completed in one variation of the DA-7X is adequate for all variations; however, pilots must receive special emphasis on the final approach configuration differences between the Falcon 7X and the Falcon 8X (i.e., the airbrake setting).

Page 41 of 60 5. PILOT CHECKING Pilot checking requirements are dependent upon the training program objectives and operational parts and will be defined by each training program. There is no requirement for knowledge checking or flight proficiency testing for the DA-7X steep approach qualification.

Proof of completion of steep approach training is sufficient for showing qualification.

6. PILOT RECURRENT TRAINING The FSB recommends, regardless of the number of steep approaches completed, a review of all academic and flight training items be accomplished annually and documented in a manner acceptable to the Administrator.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY The DA-7X is operationally suitable for steep approach operations under parts 91, 121, and 135 with aircrew trained in accordance with the requirements set in this appendix.

This FSB report does not constitute operational approval for the execution of steep approaches in the DA-7X. Additionally, be advised, it is common that individual airport authorities have training and documentation requirements specific to their airfields with regard to steep approaches.

Page 42 of 60

APPENDIX 7. EASy II AVIONICS 1. BACKGROUND This appendix to the FSBR is for the Honeywell Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) II avionics upgrade to the Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft.

The operational suitability evaluation that was conducted incorporated all options available at the time of certification of this product and the FSB found them operationally suitable when operated by crewmembers trained and qualified according to the provisions of this FSBR.

Since 2013, there have been several evolutionary steps from EASy II first certification (EASy II-1 as defined by M1122) to: • EASy II+ Legacy IO (M1401), • EASy II+ NG IO (M1341), • EASy II+ third certification Legacy IO (M1705), • EASy II fourth certification (M1969 or M1970).

These EASy II upgrades fixed in-service issues, improved the crew alerting system, eased dispatch decisions, provided other enhancements, and introduced ATC Data Link Push-To- Load option. Only the Data Link option, introduced as part of EASy II-4, has an impact on this report and is addressed in updated paragraph 4.7 of this appendix.

As of midyear 2021, more than 75% of the Falcon 7X without M1000 aircraft have been upgraded to EASy II-4. The FSB recognizes all pilots currently operating the Falcon 7X with EASy II-4 have demonstrated the required knowledge and skill associated with the enhancements in EASy II-4 during proficiency and competency checks, as required by 14 CFR §§ 61.58, 135.293, 135.297, 125.287 or 125.291, as appropriate. Because most of the Falcon 7X without M1000 aircraft fleet has been upgraded to EASy II-4, the FSB will not conduct any further evaluation of differences from EASy II-1 to EASy II-4.

The following major EASy II avionics functions were evaluated: • Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out.

• Runway Awareness Advisory System (RAAS).

• Automatic Descent Mode (ADM).

• Paperless Charts.

• Localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) approach capability.

• Synthetic Vision System (SVS).

• XM™ graphical weather display.

• Air traffic control (ATC) data link.

• Lightning Strike Sensor (LSS).

For U.S.-registered aircraft, the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Supplement for this installation restricts EASy II use to qualified pilots who have been trained in accordance with the requirements listed in this FSBR. Ground school training, procedures training, and Page 43 of 60 simulator training is required unless a Multiple Curricula Training Program (reduced planned hour training program) exists (see paragraph 4.8 of this appendix).

2. PILOT TYPE RATING The pilot type rating for the aircraft designated as DA-7X remains unchanged with the addition of the EASy II avionics suite.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.

4. PILOT TRAINING In addition to the requirements for ground, procedures, and flight training identified in this appendix, to serve as a pilot on an aircraft with the EASy II avionics, that pilot must have received a minimum 1 hour of training in pilot monitoring (PM) duties, as defined by the appropriate Crew Operational Documentation for Dassault EASy (CODDE), using a device defined in Appendix 1 for Level D training.

For a pilot that could serve as a pilot in command (PIC), the pilot flying (PF) flight training must be done from the left seat. The PM training may be accomplished from the right seat.

For a pilot that is limited to second in command (SIC) privileges, the PF and PM training must be accomplished from the right seat.

Dassault Operational Method and Crew Resource Management practices will be applied during all phases of training.

4.1 Ground Training. To be qualified to serve as pilot on an aircraft with EASy II avionics, that pilot must have attended 4 hours of ground school differences training. This ground school training should precede the flight training.

4.2 Procedures Training. To be qualified to serve as a pilot on an aircraft with the EASy II avionics, that pilot must have received a minimum 2 hours of differences training using a device defined in Appendix 1 for Level C training.

4.3 Flight Training. To be qualified to serve as a pilot on an aircraft with the EASy II avionics, that pilot must have received a minimum 2 hours of differences training as PF, as defined by the appropriate CODDE, using a device defined in Appendix 1 for Level D training.

4.4 Special Emphasis Areas.

4.4.1 Pilots must receive special emphasis on the following areas during differences training from EASy I to EASy II avionics suite: • Proficiency in using all flight management system (FMS) windows.

• Proficiency in using takeoff/go-around (TOGA) modes of EASy II.

Page 44 of 60 • Using Flight Path Vector (FPV) vertical and lateral displacement (un-caged).

• Performing instrument landing system (ILS)/localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) approaches in raw data.

• Using FPV with synthetic vision (terrain, virtual runway).

• Vertical navigation (VNAV) mode.

4.4.2 Pilots must receive special emphasis on the following areas during initial training on the EASy II avionics suite: • Interpretation and use of the Crew Alert System (CAS).

• Use of the Electronic Checklist (ECL) and quick reference handbooks (QRH).

• Proper use and interpretation of the Flight Path Symbol (FPS) and Acceleration Chevron.

• Proper use and interpretation of the Low Speed Cues (LSC).

• Use and interpretation of color codes of avionics system.

• Operating techniques – reflex actions.

• Use of manual pressurization mode.

• Ground steering.

• Use of airbrakes with autopilot engaged.

• Go-around using TOGA pushbuttons on throttles.

• Emergency panel on the pedestal.

4.5 Training Devices. All training conducted in Falcon 7X that requires the use of Desktop Simulation (DTS), Graphical Flight Simulation (GFS), Instrument Procedures Trainers (IPT), or full flight simulators (FFS) for either EASy I or EASy II modifications must represent the appropriate modification being taught. However, it is possible for EASy II training devices to be used with EASy I only qualified pilots if a training program is developed to limit the EASy II functionality to simulate the EASy I system following the guidance in paragraph 4.6 below.

4.6 EASy I Crew Training on EASy II Devices.

4.6.1 Training Duration. A minimum of 2 hours of ground training is required for specific differences from EASy I to the EASy II training device. A minimum of 2 hours of flight training per crewmember is required using a device defined in Appendix 1 for Level D training. Since the 2-hour flight requirement is to allow for 1 hour of training in PF duties and 1 hour in PM duties, the training for two crewmembers can be accomplished concurrently in a 2-hour block.

Page 46 of 60 4.6.2 Noted Differences. Differences between EASy II and EASy I must be discussed and/or demonstrated.

4.6.3 Training Credit. Time spent training under this paragraph (4.6) cannot be used for any credit towards any other time requirements set forth in this appendix or any other approved training program.

4.7 ATC Data Link Training. ATC data link functions (both Future Air Navigation System 1/A (FANS 1/A) and Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) B1) are part of the EASy II avionics suite. Operators should ensure that flightcrew are thoroughly familiar with all relevant aspects of data link operations according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Operational Data Link Document (GOLD) prior to operation. Training elements must include, but are not limited to: a) Messages and user interface used in FANS 1/A and in ATN B1 are similar but not identical.

b) Dialogues differences between FANS 1/A and ATN B1: the crew shall be made aware that the construction of the dialogues are different between FANS 1/A and ATN B1.

c) Format of data (flight level (FL) and Mach) to be entered in multipurpose control and display unit (MCDU) is specific and different between FANS 1/A and ATN B1.

d) Complete content of message may not be displayed in first page, and in this case, crew has to look at the other page(s) where a required answer from the crew to the ATC may be displayed (with a specific mention that the acknowledge key for Oceanic Clearances is visible on first page).

e) It is recommended that the PM displays the page in his PDU and not in the MDU shared area.

f) There is no direct access to Oceanic Clearances via shortcut because Oceanic Clearances is part of a subpage: crew needs to navigate in the page to get the message.

g) There is no automatic handover between FANS 1/A and ATN B1. Handover should follow CODDE 2 procedure.

h) Except for aircraft equipped with the Push To Load option (M1969 or M1970), FANS 1/A clearance is to be manually loaded in the flight plan (it is not automatic).

APPENDIX 8. EASy III AVIONICS 1. BACKGROUND This appendix to the FSBR is for the Honeywell Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) III avionics in the Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft modified with M1000 and with either M1254, M1745 or M1925 (Falcon 8X commercial designation).

Beginning in April 2016, the FSB conducted evaluations of the Falcon 8X. The Falcon 8X is the commercial designation for a stretch variation of the Falcon 7X that incorporates modifications M1000 and M1254 EASy III first certification (EASy III-1) installed in production. It, as well as the associated Falcon 8X AFM, were found to be operationally suitable.

As noted previously, the Master Differences Requirements tables in Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 are applicable to EASy III first certification (EASy III-1).

In 2017, Dassault Aviation certified Falcon 8X avionics software modification M1745 for EASy III second certification (EASy III-2). The EASy III-2 software modification removed limitations associated with the Flight Management System (FMS), on FMS speeds and VNAV in descent, and provided other enhancements to flight planning/LNAV and TOLD functions. As of midyear 2020, all Falcon 8X aircraft have been modified to at least EASy III-2. The FSB, recognizes all pilots currently operating the 8X with EASy III-2 software have demonstrated the required knowledge and skill associated with the enhancements in EASy III-2, during proficiency and competency checks, as required by 14 CFR §§ 61.58, 91.1065, 91.1069, 121.441, 135.293, and 135.297, as appropriate. Because the entire 8X aircraft fleet has been modified to EASy III-2, the FSB will not conduct any further evaluation of differences from EASy III-1 to EASy III-2 and the FSB has not made a determination of training or checking differences level from EASy III-1 to EASy III-2.

In 2020, Dassault Aviation certified Falcon 8X avionics software modification M1925 to EASy III third certification (EASy III-3).

The following EASy III-3 avionics functions were evaluated by the FSB: • Improved LNAV guidance with increased bank angle for in-flight procedures with tight turns.

• New and Modified CAS and fault messaging.

• Own-ship depiction on all geo-referenced terminal charts.

• Capability for selection of minimums for EFVS operations below charted DH/MDA minimums.

• Altitude constraint data block location on IPFD moved.

EASy III-3 modification M1925 includes functionality for RNP AR approach capability (limited to RNP 0.3), and with optional M-OPT0767, RNP AR approach capability down to RNP 0.1 in SBAS signal reception areas is possible. See Appendix 9 of this report for applicable RNP AR information.

Page 49 of 60 For U.S.-registered aircraft, the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Supplement for this installation restricts EASy III use to qualified pilots who have been trained in accordance with the requirements listed in this FSBR.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING The pilot type rating for the aircraft designated as DA-7X remains unchanged with the addition of the EASy III avionics modifications, including all three certification levels.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.

4. PILOT TRAINING The FSB has determined that the minimum differences training/checking level from EASy III-2 (M1745) to EASy III-3 (M1925, excluding RNP AR capability) to be B/A.

APPENDIX 9. REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED (RNP AR) 1. BACKGROUND Dassault Aviation modification M1925 (EASy III-3) introduced functionality for RNP AR approach capability (limited to RNP 0.3). Option M-OPT0767 extends that capability to RNP 0.1. Subsequent EASy software versions are likely to retain these capabilities.

The operational evaluation and suitability of Falcon 8X (F8X) RNP AR functionality was conducted in France during February 2022. The RNP AR training was evaluated in accordance with AC 120-53B, in a Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) at FlightSafety International, Le Bourget, France, and operational suitability was evaluated in a F8X aircraft at Istres, France.

Modification M2059 (EASy IV-1 for Falcon 7X) incorporates M1925 (EASy III-3) and makes M-OPT0767 (RNP AR to .1) available for Falcon 7X. Because of the commonality in EASy software, hardware, function, and documentation between the 7X and 8X with regard to RNP AR approach capability and execution, operational suitability and equivalency thru analysis has been determined.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING The DA-7X pilot type rating for Falcon 7X aircraft with modification M1000 (F8X), remains unchanged for aircraft with RNP AR 0.3 (defined by modification M1925) and with RNP AR 0.1 (defined by Option M-OPT0767).

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT Not applicable.

4. PILOT TRAINING The FSB has determined that the minimum differences training level from F8X EASy III-3 without RNP AR APCH to F8X EASy III-3 with RNP AR APCH to be “E” level training, as defined in Appendix 1 of this report. It may be worth noting that the “E” level determination is the result of the use of Level C or D FFS, or an aircraft being required to complete the training. In accordance with AC 120-53 and Appendix 1 of this report, that requirement arrives at Level E training. This is an existing difference between FAA and EASA guidance in this area.

This Flight Standards Board Report (FSBR) does not address all training requirements for RNP AR. See the current version of FAA AC 90-101, Approval Guidance for RNP Procedures with AR, for additional information regarding RNP AR training.

Page 53 of 60 In conducting RNP AR approaches, specified duties and procedures are assigned to both the PF and PM. Therefore, the requirement for initial and recurrent training as defined below is applicable to both PIC and SIC.

4.1 Minimum Prerequisites.

• A current DA-7X Type Rating, or • DA-7X Type Rating training, up to, but excluding the check ride.

4.2 Special Emphasis Areas.

4.2.1 Pilots must receive special emphasis on the following areas during ground training: • Training on the respective origin and purpose of the different RNP values (default RNP values in INIT page, RNP value in SENSORS page, target RNP from navigation database for RNP-AR) and of their respective priorities.

Target RNP setting comes from the navigation database and is performed each leg. For a RNP AR approach it shall not be manually superseded in the SENSORS page.

• The differences between “Discontinued Approach” and “Safe Extraction” and applications of those procedures.

• PDU annunciation “RNP (X.XX)” denotes the selected minimum (App. Cat in FMW Landing Data tab) and not the prioritized RNP value which is currently monitored.

• Width of deviation pointer using EPU to materialize the total system error.

• Pilot side swap shall be promptly performed in case guidance is lost on PF side.

• A specific piloting technique that can be used in case of total loss of LNAV FD guidance.

• Required equipment for RNP AR approaches (minimum equipment list (MEL) review and in-flight equipment failure).

4.2.2 Pilots must receive special emphasis on, and perform the following areas during flight training: For RNP AR APCH 0.3, crew must fly a minimum of 4 RNP AR approaches: • Two approaches in manual mode with no failure up to landing, one as PF and one as PM; • One approach as PM (or PF) in AP mode with MAU1A failure during a RF leg before FAF culminating in a missed approach; and • One approach as PF (or PM) in AP mode with MAU1A failure during a RF leg after FAF culminating in a missed approach.

• For RNP AR APCH 0.1, in addition to above RNP AR APCH 0.3 approaches, crew must fly a minimum of 4 RNP AR approaches including RF legs: Page 54 of 60 • One approach as PF (or PM) in AP mode with no failure down to the minima then missed approach; • One approach as PM (or PF) in AP mode with a progressive degradation of position accuracy (i.e., EPU increase leading to EPU > RNP) culminating in a missed approach; • One approach as PM (or PF) in AP mode then AP and FD failure before FAF culminating in a missed approach; and • One approach as PF (or PM) in AP mode then AP and FD failure after FAF culminating in a missed approach.

4.2.3 Pilots must receive training on, and perform the following areas during recurrent ground training: • The special emphasis areas specified in subparagraph 4.2.1 Ground Training of this appendix.

• Any new or updated information related to the RNP AR operations.

4.2.4 Recurrent Flight Training: For RNP AR 0.3: • A minimum of 4 RNP AR APCH 0.3 approaches as specified in the subparagraph 4.2.2 of this appendix.

For RNP AR 0.1, crew must fly a minimum of 6 RNP AR approaches: • Four RNP AR APCH 0.3 approaches as specified in the subparagraph 4.2.2 of this Appendix, and • Two additional RNP AR 0.1 approaches amongst the 4 RNP AR 0.1 approaches specified in the subparagraph 4.2.2 of this appendix, including at least 1 approach with AP and FD failure.

4.3 Training Devices. The RNP AR approach must have been accomplished in either an appropriately qualified Level D FFS or Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft modified with M1000 and with M1925/M-OPT0767, as appropriate.

5. PILOT CHECKING The FSB has determined that the minimum differences checking level from F8X EASy III-3 without RNP AR APCH to F8X EASy III-3 with RNP AR APCH to be “A” level checking, as defined in Appendix 1 of this report.

Due to the unique nature of these approaches, the FSB encourages evaluators to include RNP AR approaches in all applicable checking evaluations.

Page 55 of 60 6. PILOT CURRENCY 6.1 While conducting an RNP AR approach, specific duties and procedures are assigned to the PF and PM. Therefore, the currency requirement is applicable to both PIC and SIC.

6.2 PF and PM must have accomplished at least one RNP AR approach to either a missed approach or landing within the preceding 6 months.

6.3 RNP AR approach currency must have been accomplished in either an appropriately qualified FFS or in a Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft modified with M1000 and with M1925 for (RNP 0.3) or with M-OPT0767 for operators with approval for RNP AR 0.1.

6.4 Any checking under part 61 or 135 that requires a demonstration of RNP AR approach competency that was accomplished within the preceding 6 calendar-months satisfies this currency requirement.

6.5 If RNP AR approach currency is lost, currency may be reestablished by completing the RNP AR training defined in paragraph 4 and checking elements in paragraph 5 of this appendix.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY The FSB has determined that Falcon 8X aircraft equipped with modification M1925 and Option M-OPT0767 is operationally suitable for RNP AR operations to RNP 0.3 and 0.1 respectively, under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 91, 121, and 135.

An operational suitability determination and completion of RNP AR training and checking does not constitute an operational authorization. Operators should reference the current edition of AC 90-101 for guidance on obtaining approval for RNP AR operations.
