Current FAA ADs related to this subject are
2003–17–10 (which superseded AD 2003–
15–01), 2004–23–16, 2005–24–08 and 2006–
15–13.
Cracking of the blade or hub can ultimately
lead to blade release with potentially
catastrophic consequences. BAE Systems has
concluded that safety margins can be further
improved by introducing operating
limitations that will prevent damaging
stresses in the propeller assembly, instructing
flight crews to place the propeller condition
levers in the Flight position during all
ground maneuvering.
EASA concurs with this conclusion and
this AD therefore requires the replacement of
the Propeller Limitations Placard with a new
one.
Corrective actions include revising the
airplane flight manual.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 119 / Thursday, June 19, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
SUMMARY: 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:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is
prompted by the discovery on an in-service
Mystere-Falcon 20–C5 of a collapsed wing
anti-ice flexible hose due to internal ply
separation.
Consequences on the aircraft can be
insufficient anti-icing not detected by the
monitoring system. Ice accretion on the wing
might then occur and might jeopardize the
aircraft flight performance and safety.
*
*
*
*
*
The unsafe condition is undetected
excessive ice build-up on the wings,
which could interfere with
controllability of the airplane. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to
correct the unsafe condition on these
products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July
24, 2008.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of July 24, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on March 13, 2008 (73 FR
13509). That NPRM proposed to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is
prompted by the discovery on an in-service
Mystere-Falcon 20–C5 of a collapsed wing
anti-ice flexible hose due to internal ply
separation.
Consequences on the aircraft can be
insufficient anti-icing not detected by the

monitoring system. Ice accretion on the wing
might then occur and might jeopardize the
aircraft flight performance and safety.
The present AD mandates replacement of
the wing anti-ice flexible hoses by new ones
of an improved design.
The unsafe condition is undetected
excessive ice build-up on the wings,
which could interfere with
controllability of the airplane. You may
obtain further information by examining
the MCAI in the AD docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow our FAA
policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
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,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify 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); and
3. 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
We estimate that this AD will affect
about 214 products of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 5
work-hours per product to comply with
the basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $887 per
product. Where the service information
lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have
assumed that there will be no charge for
these parts. As we do not control
warranty coverage for affected parties,
some parties may incur costs higher
than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD
to the U.S. operators to be $275,418, or
$1,287 per product.
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the
Docket Operations office between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket
contains the NPRM, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone
(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in
the AD docket shortly after receipt.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 13, 2008 (73
FR 13509). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by the discovery

The present AD mandates replacement of the wing anti-ice
flexible hoses by new ones of an improved design.
The unsafe condition is undetected excessive ice build-up on the wings,
which could interfere with controllability of the airplane. You may
obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect about 214 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 5 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $887
per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $275,418, or $1,287 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, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify 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); and
3. 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the

Adoption of the Amendment
0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
2008-13-04 Dassault Aviation (Formerly Avions Marcel Dassault-
Breguet Aviation (AMD/BA)): Amendment 39-15567. Docket No. FAA-2008-
0296; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-307-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 24,
2008.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-
D5, and 20-E5 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial
numbers.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 30: Ice and
Rain Protection.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by the discovery
on an in-service Mystere-Falcon 20-C5 of a collapsed wing anti-ice
flexible hose due to internal ply separation.
Consequences on the aircraft can be insufficient anti-icing not
detected by the monitoring system. Ice accretion on the wing might
then occur and might jeopardize the aircraft flight performance and
safety.
The present AD mandates replacement of the wing anti-ice
flexible hoses by new ones of an improved design.
The unsafe condition is undetected excessive ice build-up on the
wings, which could interfere with controllability of the airplane.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Within 7 months after the effective date of this AD, unless
already done, do the following actions.
(1) Inspect to determine whether any wing anti-ice flexible hose
having part number (P/N) FAL1006 or P/N ARM224A is installed. A
review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the part number of the wing anti-ice flexible hose can
be conclusively determined from that review. If any wing anti-ice
flexible hose does not have P/N FAL1006 or P/N ARM224A, no further
action is required by this AD for that hose, except as required by
paragraph (f)(3) of this AD.
(2) Remove any wing anti-ice flexible hose having P/N FAL1006 or
P/N ARM224A, and install a new hose having ESPA (brand) P/N
60503104509; in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Dassault Service Bulletin F20-775, dated July 9, 2007.
(3) As of the effective date of this AD, no person shall install
any flexible hose having P/N FAL1006 or P/N ARM224A on any Model
Mystere-Falcon 20-C5, 20-D5, or 20-E5 airplane specified in the
applicability of this AD.
FAA AD Differences
Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: The MCAI does not require inspecting to determine the
part numbers of the wing anti-ice flexible hoses. This AD requires
such an inspection.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Tom
Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone (425) 227-1137; fax (425) 227-1149.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
(3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.
