We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-19-08, for all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. AD 2008-19-08 required repetitive replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the wing (slat) anti-icing system with new hoses. This new AD requires reducing the life limit of these flexible hoses, which reduces the repetitive replacement intervals. This AD was prompted by additional reports of collapse of the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti- icing systems on airplanes equipped with new, improved hoses. 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-19-08, 
for all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. AD 2008-19-08 
required repetitive replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the 
wing (slat) anti-icing system with new hoses. This new AD requires 
reducing the life limit of these flexible hoses, which reduces the 
repetitive replacement intervals. This AD was prompted by additional 
reports of collapse of the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti-
icing systems on airplanes equipped with new, improved hoses. 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.

DATES: This AD is effective October 21, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 11, 
2007 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2008-19-08, Amendment 39-15675 (73 FR 54492, 
September 22, 2008) (``AD 2008-19-08''). AD 2008-19-08 applied to all 
Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on May 3, 2016 (81 FR 26495) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM 
was prompted by additional reports of collapse of the flexible hoses 
installed in the slat anti-icing systems on airplanes equipped with 
new, improved hoses. The NPRM proposed to continue to require 
repetitive replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the wing 
(slat) anti-icing system with new hoses. The NPRM also proposed to 
require reducing the life limit of these flexible hoses, which would 
reduce the repetitive replacement intervals. 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.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0104, dated May 7, 2014 (referred to after 
this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the 
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on all Dassault Aviation Model 
Falcon 10 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Occurrences were reported involving an in-service Falcon 10 
aeroplane, where wing anti-ice hoses collapsed. The subsequent 
investigation revealed that the flexible hose, Part Number (P/N) 
FAL1005, collapsed because of an internal ply separation.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of the 
ice-protection system to remove ice accretion on the wing, possibly 
resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2005-
0020 and AD 2006-0114 [which correspond to AD 2008-19-08], 
respectively, imposing flight limitations and requiring replacement 
of the flexible hoses P/N FAL1005 with improved hoses P/N FAL1007.
    Since those [EASA] ADs were issued, further occurrences were 
reported concerning aeroplanes with improved hoses, which led to the 
conclusion that the life limit of the flexible hose P/N FAL1007 must 
be reduced.
    For the reasons above, this [EASA] AD retains the requirements 
of EASA AD 2006-0114, which is superseded; supersedes EASA AD 2005-
0020; requires replacement of flexible hoses having P/N FAL 1000, P/
N 1001, P/N FAL1005, or P/N FAL1005D, and reduces the life limit of 
the flexible hoses P/N 1007 [which would reduce the repetitive 
replacement intervals].

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
6146.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We considered the comment received. The commenter, Catherine 
Corn, supported the NPRM.

Clarification to This AD

    We have changed the ``Definition of Serviceable Flexible Hose'' 
specified in paragraph (j) of this AD from ``350 flight hours or less'' 
to ``less than 350 flight hours'' to clarify the intent of the flight 
hours for the life-limit of the flexible hose specified in paragraph 
(i) of this AD.
    We have also revised paragraph (g) of this AD to clarify that 
accomplishing the replacement required by paragraph (i) of this AD 
terminates the replacements required by paragraph (g) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the change described previously, and minor editorial 
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 124 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-19-08, and retained in 
this AD, take about 8 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate 
of $85 per work-hour. Required parts cost about $880. Based on these 
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by AD 
2008-19-08 is up to $1,560 per product, per replacement cycle.
    We also estimate that it takes about 4 work-hours per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $936 per 
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on 
U.S. operators to be $158,224, or $1,276 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to 
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the 
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation 
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's 
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in 
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General 
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with 
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator 
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within 
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition 
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this 
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct 
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States,

[[Page 63690]]

or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

2008-19-08, Amendment 39-15675 (73 FR 54492, September 22, 2008), and 
adding the following new AD:

2016-19-07 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-18656; Docket No. FAA-
2016-6146; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-120-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective October 21, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2008-19-08, Amendment 39-15675 (73 FR 54492, 
September 22, 2008) (``AD 2008-19-08'').

Protection.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of collapse of the flexible 
hoses installed in the slat anti-icing systems on airplanes equipped 
with new, improved hoses. 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.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Retained Repetitive Hose Replacement, With Revised Compliance 
Language

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 
2008-19-08, with revised compliance language. As of October 27, 2008 
(the effective date of AD 2008-19-08): 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, within 700 flight hours since the last replacement or 
within 100 flight hours after October 27, 2008, whichever occurs 
later, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 700 flight hours. 
Accomplishing the replacement required by paragraph (h) or (i) of 
this AD ends the repetitive replacements required by this paragraph.

Numbers

    Within 65 days after the effective date of this AD: Replace any 
flexible hose having part number (P/N) FAL1000, P/N FAL1001, or P/N 
FAL1005D with a new, improved flexible hose having P/N FAL1007, 
using a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-
116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation 
Safety Agency (EASA); or Dassault Aviation's EASA Design 
Organization Approval (DOA).

(i) Life-Limit for P/N FAL1007--Repetitive Replacements

    At the later of the times specified in paragraphs (i)(1) and 
(i)(2) of this AD, replace any flexible hose having part number P/N 
FAL1007 with a serviceable flexible hose having P/N FAL1007, using a 
method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, 
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the EASA; or Dassault 
Aviation's EASA DOA. Thereafter, before the accumulation of 350 
flight hours on any flexible hose having P/N FAL1007, replace the 
flexible hose with a serviceable flexible hose having P/N FAL1007.
    (1) Before the accumulation of 350 flight hours on the flexible 
hose P/N FAL1007 since first installation on an airplane.
    (2) At the earlier of the times specified in paragraphs 
(i)(2)(i) and (i)(2)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) Within 200 flight hours after the effective date of this AD.
    (ii) Before the accumulation of 700 flight hours on the flexible 
hose P/N FAL1007 since first installation on an airplane, or within 
65 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.

(j) Definition of Serviceable Flexible Hose

    For the purpose of this AD, a serviceable flexible hose is a 
flexible hose having P/N FAL1007 that has accumulated less than 350 
flight hours since first installation on an airplane.

(k) Parts Installation Limitation

    After accomplishing the replacement required by paragraph (h) of 
this AD, no person may install a flexible hose in the slat anti-
icing system on any airplane, unless that hose is a serviceable 
flexible hose having P/N FAL1007, and thereafter repetitive hose 
replacements are done as required by paragraph (i) of this AD.
