Airworthiness Directive 2021-03-12
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
What this AD requires
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.
Which aircraft AD 2021-03-12 applies to
Applies to all Falcon 10 airplanes, all serial numbers.
Whether AD 2021-03-12 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:
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.
