After the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved the repair to the trim system, the Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X is no longer grounded. Since May, when a Malaysian Falcon 7X suffered an uncontrolled pitch trim runaway during descent, the plane has been grounded.
An additional electronic control has been added to ensure none of the 112 Falcon 7X tri-jets will not have a repeat of the “trim runaway.”
Although the grounding is over, the problem is not considered solved, and the investigation into the pitch trim fault is ongoing.
