Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15675 · Dassault Model Falcon 10 Airplanes
Dassault Model Falcon 10 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2016-19-07. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to all Dassault Model Falcon 10 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 10 airplanes. That AD currently requires either revising the airplane flight manual and installing a placard in the flight deck to prohibit flight into known or forecasted icing conditions, or repetitively inspecting for delamination of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) anti-icing system and performing corrective actions if necessary. The existing AD also requires replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti-icing systems, which ends the repetitive inspections. This new AD continues to require replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti-icing systems with new hoses, but at intervals defined in flight hours instead of flight cycles. This AD results from information we received from operators and the airplane manufacturer indicating that the repetitive interval for the required replacement deviated from the referenced service information. We are issuing this AD to prevent collapse of the flexible hoses in the slat anti-icing system, which could lead to insufficient anti-icing capability and, if icing is encountered in this situation, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 330 flight hours or 7 months after October 11, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-18-08), whichever occurs first: Replace the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti-icing system with new hoses having part number (P/N) FAL1007, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin F10-313, Revision 1, dated May 10, 2006. Repeat the hose replacement thereafter at intervals not to exceed 700 flight cycles, except as provided by paragraph (h) of this AD.
(g) Replacement of a hose before October 11, 2007, in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F10-313, dated August 10, 2005, is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD.
As of the effective date of this AD, repeat the hose replacement required by paragraph (f) of this AD within 700 flight hours since the last replacement, or within 100 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 700 flight hours.
