EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 

AD No.: 2010-0029R1 

Date: 25 November 2010 

Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with 

Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and 

of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of 

that Regulation. 

This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the 

continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may 

operate an aircraft to which an Airworthiness Directive applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that Airworthiness 

Directive unless otherwise specified by the Agency [EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State 

of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption].

Type Approval Holder’s Name : 

DASSAULT AVIATION

Type/Model designation(s) : 

FALCON 7X aeroplanes

TCDS Number: EASA.A.155 

Foreign AD: Not Applicable 

Revision: This AD revises EASA AD 2010-0029 dated 01 March 2010. 

ATA 24 & 29 Electrical Power & Hydraulic Power – Electrical Wirings & 

Hydraulic Lines Routing – Modification(s) 

Manufacturer(s): DASSAULT AVIATION 

Applicability: Falcon 7X aeroplanes serial numbers 2 to 22 inclusive, 24 to 26 inclusive, 29, 

30, 32 and all other serial numbers except those on which modifications 

M964, M937, M976, M1007 or M1036, M1020 or M1037 and M1022 have all 

been implemented. 

Reason: On some Falcon 7X aeroplanes, it has been determined potential low 

clearance between electrical wiring or hydraulic pipe and nearby structure. 

Although no in service incident has been reported, there is no certainty that 

the minimum clearances would be maintained over time. In the worst case, 

interference or contact with structure might occur and lead to electrical short 

circuits or fluid leakage, potentially resulting in loss of several functions 

essential for safe flight. 

Dassault Aviation has developed two Service Bulletins (SB) that provide 

corrective actions to ensure the minimum required clearance, as well as 

adequate protection between hydraulic pipe (SB n° 0 92) and electrical wiring 

(SB n° 006) and the aeroplane structure. 

This AD requires the implementation of both SBs on the affected aeroplanes. 

Since issuance of EASA AD 2010-0029, Dassault Aviation has developed 

modifications M1036 and M1037. M1036 is equivalent to M1007 while M1037 

is equivalent to M1020. These modifications are embodied during production 

on new aeroplanes.

This AD has been revised to exclude from the AD applicability the aeroplanes 

on which those modifications are embodied.
