Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16416 · Electrical power
Dassault-Aviation Model FALCON 7X Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2012-12-18. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Dassault-Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers except those on which Dassault-Aviation Modification M724 is embodied.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
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 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Abnormal Procedures and Limitations sections of the Dassault F7X Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include the following statement. This may be done by inserting copies of this AD into the AFM Limitations section and Abnormal Procedures section.
“Upon display of ELEC:BUS MISCONFIG TIED in Crew Alerting System (Abnormal procedure 3-190-20), land at nearest suitable airport
Upon display of ELEC:LH ESS PWR LO or ELEC:LH ESS NO PWR (Abnormal procedure 3-190-40), land at nearest suitable airport
Upon display of ELEC:RH ESS PWR LO and ELEC:RH ESS NO PWR (Abnormal procedure 3-190-45), land at nearest suitable airport
Upon display of HYD:BACKUP PUMP HI TEMP (Abnormal procedure 3-250-15), set off the pump and if the backup pump is still rotating (green) in hydraulic synoptic, descend to a safe altitude or below 15,000 ft
Caution: These temporary amendments take precedence over the same procedures displayed through the Electronic Check List (ECL) in the aeroplane.”
Note 1: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (g) of this AD has been included in the Limitations section and Abnormal Procedures section in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed.
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: (1) While the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2010-0073, dated April 15, 2010, has a compliance time of “after the effective date of this AD,” this AD requires that the actions be done within 30 days after the effective date of this AD. (2) This AD does not require the inspection of and on-condition replacement of the PDCU and GCU cards in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2010-0073, dated April 15, 2010, and this AD does not provide credit for accomplishment of certain service bulletins in paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2010-0073, dated April 15, 2010.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
