Is AD 2016-17-02 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 2016-17-02 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 2016-17-02 apply to?

AD 2016-17-02 applies to Dassault Aviation — models FALCON 900EX, FALCON 2000EX. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include procedures to follow when an airplane is operating in icing conditions. This AD also provides optional terminating action for the AFM revision. This AD was prompted by a design review of in-production airplanes that identified a deficiency in certain wing anti-ice system ducting. A deficiency in the wing anti-ice system ducting could lead to undetected, reduced performance of the wing anti-ice system, with potential ice accretion and ingestion, possibly resulting in degraded engine power and degraded handling characteristics of the airplane. We are issuing this AD to ensure the flight crew has procedures for operating an airplane in icing conditions.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 270–291, 294–294, 263–305, 307–313, 315–315, 320–320, 701–734.

Serial ranges are specific to model: FALCON 900EX S/Ns 270-291 and 294; FALCON 2000EX S/Ns 263-305, 307-313, 315, 320, and 701-734.

Whether AD 2016-17-02 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2016-17-02 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
