The AD-mandated process takes two weeks
Dry bay installation on Falcon 900
Yingling Aviation has completed its first AD-mandated Falcon dry bay modification. The project took two weeks, and the Wichita MRO can do the work at its facility or in the customer’s hangar.

Yingling Aviation has successfully completed its first Dassault Falcon 900 dry bay modification, marking a milestone in the company’s Falcon aircraft service capabilities.

The modification is required on the Falcon 50, 900, and 2000 to correct a possible hazard. Reports show that if the main landing gear collapses during takeoff or landing, the wing tank structure can fail, leading to fuel spillage and possible fire. Dassault Aviation has developed a structural modification of the wing fuel tanks in the area of the wheel well, which introduces a dry bay by adding a sealed boundary in front of the rear spar.
