Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21415 · Ice and rain protection
Dassault Aviation Airplanes
This AD applies to all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03- 27, which applied to all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. AD 2019-03-27 required repetitive detailed inspections of certain wing anti-ice outboard flexible hoses, and replacement of certain wing anti- ice outboard flexible hoses. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2019-03-27, and also adds a new life limit for the improved wing anti-ice flexible hose; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that certain wing anti-ice outboard flexible hoses were found damaged, likely resulting from the installation process, and the development of an improved wing anti-ice flexible hose. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0127, dated June 4, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0127).
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0127 refers to February 25, 2019 (the effective date of EASA AD 2019-0040-E, dated February 21, 2019), this AD requires using March 8, 2019 (the effective date of AD 2019-03-27).
(2) Where EASA AD 2020-0127 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0127 does not apply to this AD.
(4) Where EASA AD 2020-0127 refers to paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2017-0108 for applicable life limits, for this AD refer to FAA AD 2016-19-07, Amendment 39-18656 (81 FR 63688, September 16, 2016).
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2020-0127 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
