Dassault 2000, Failed Emergency Handle Solder Joints

Dassault 2000, Failed Emergency Handle Solder Joints, ATA 5220 February, 2009 1 Dassault: 2000; Failed Emergency Handle Solder Joints; ATA 5220 A repair station technician stated the access cover for the emergency window handle does not have a support lanyard. When the technician removes the cover, the handle hangs by the wiring that illuminates the handle assembly, putting stress on the solder connections for the handle lighting. This causes the connections to break, creating either an inoperative emergency light or a short that results in more than one emergency light failing to illuminate.

The technician usually removes the cover for security pinning of the exit handle and for emergency window handle inspection.

There should be a lanyard to provide stress relief for the associated wiring mounted on the cover and in the window assembly.
