Dassault Falcon pilots must now check for a specific electrical failure

The US aviation regulator is proposing a new rule for certain Dassault Falcon 2000EX airplanes. Pilots will have to add a new step to their flight manual, specifically checking for simultaneous failures of two main electrical systems during landing.

This change means pilots must now actively look for a specific electrical problem that could cause both main power generators to fail at the same time. This kind of failure, if not caught, could lead to a loss of critical systems during a crucial phase of flight. It shifts the burden of detection to the pilot, adding a new procedural safeguard.
