FAA Targets Dassault, Three Airlines for Hefty Mx Fines
The FAA is proposing a $450,000 civil penalty against Dassault Falcon and its completion center in Little Rock, Ark., for improperly plating certain parts

The FAA is proposing a $450,000 civil penalty against Dassault Falcon and its completion center in Little Rock, Ark., for improperly plating certain parts and installing them on airplanes. The agency alleges that after receiving a warning notice on this issue in January 2008, Dassault Falcon approved 18 airplanes for return to service between March 2008 and April 2009. According to the FAA, the aircraft contained “hundreds of parts electroplated by the company or its contractors but the companies did not have the required FAA rating to perform such work.”
