    Issued: 23 August 2021
    Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with Regulation
    (EU) 2018/1139 on behalf of the European Union, its Member States and of the European third
    countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 129 of that Regulation.

    This AD is issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 748/2012, Part 21.A.3B. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 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 AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD, unless otherwise specified by the Agency [Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 Annex I,
    Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, Article 71 exemption].

    Design Approval Holder’s Name: Type/Model designation(s):

    Effective Date: 06 September 2021


    TCDS Number(s): EASA.A.155
    Foreign AD: Not applicable
    Supersedure: None

    ATA 34 – Navigation – EASy Avionics Architecture / Aircraft Flight Manual –

    EASA AD No.: 2021-0197

    Reason:
    A weak point has been identified in the Falcon 7X ‘EASy’ avionics architecture which, coupled with
    theoretical Generic IO (Input/Output) card failure, may lead to misleading data on display units.

    This condition, if not corrected, could reduce the safety margins and lead to increased pilot
    workload, possibly resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.

    To address this potential unsafe condition, Dassault issued the AFM-CP, the MMEL-CP and the OSM-
    FC, as defined in this AD.

    For the reason described above, this AD requires amendment of the applicable AFM,
    implementation of the MMEL-CP and implementation of the OSM-FC.

    This AD is considered to be interim action and further AD action may follow.

    Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s):


    Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:

    Within 2 months after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the actions as required by
    paragraph (1) of this AD, or as specified in paragraph (2) of this AD, and the actions as required by
    paragraphs (3) and (4) of this AD, inform all flight crews, and, thereafter, ensure that each pilot has
    performed the training and operate the aeroplane accordingly.

    AFM Amendment:
    (1) Amend the applicable AFM to incorporate the AFM-CP.

    (2) Amending the applicable AFM to incorporate a later revision, which includes the AFM-CP as
    required by this AD, is an acceptable method to comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)
    of this AD.

    MMEL Implementation:
    (3) Implement the instructions of the MMEL-CP, on the basis of which the operator’s MEL must be
    amended.

    OSM-FC Implementation:
    (4) Implement the instructions of the OSM-FC.
