Revision change summary 16 → 17
AT A GLANCE
Two certification-basis changes identified
Revision 17 adds a Starlink antenna-provisions entry for Falcon 2000 airplanes with modification M-OPT0413, and replaces “No Change” with a Part 38 fuel-efficiency reference in the Falcon 2000LXS certification-basis section.
Neither entry should be read as a blanket change for every Falcon 2000 configuration.
01
Starlink antenna provisions added
Falcon 2000 · Modification M-OPT0413
A new paragraph identifies an equivalent-level-of-safety finding for vibration and buffeting under § 25.251. It applies to Falcon 2000 airplanes incorporating M-OPT0413 (Starlink Antenna Provisions) and cites ELOS memo AT20300IB-T-ESF-B25.251-01.
REVISION 17 · AFTER
“For Falcon 2000 airplanes incorporating modification M-OPT0413 (Starlink Antenna Provisions)”
The added text lists § 25.251, Vibration and Buffeting, with the ELOS memo reference.
Applicability: this addition names a modification, rather than a new serial-number range. Confirm the aircraft’s modification status. The Falcon 2000EX Starlink entry for M-OPT0408 was already present in Revision 16 and remains in Revision 17; it is not a newly added EX approval in this comparison.

“14 CFR Part 38, Airplane Fuel Efficiency Certification, Amendment 38-1, Paragraph 38.17(b)(X).”
Applicability: Section (f) identifies Falcon 2000EX EASy airplanes incorporating M2846, M3229, M3254, M3390, M3453 and M5000—the Falcon 2000LXS definition. Section (g), for the Falcon 2000S definition, refers back to (f). Review those cross-references for the aircraft configuration.
