ANTI-ICING PRODUCTS
AUTHORIZED ANTI-ICING PRODUCTS

CAUTION
Treatment must be carried out by specialized and well trained
personnel only. Undiluted anti-icing type II (SAE AMS 1428), type
III (SAE AMS 1428) and anti-icing type IV (SAE AMS 1428) fluids
must be used very carefully.

CAUTION
It is prohibited to perform a second anti-icing treatment if the
aircraft has not flown after the first application. A second
application would dangerously overload the aircraft. If an aircraft
undergoes anti-icing but does not fly, it must be cleaned either

DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

by washing, or deicing depending on outside temperature.

CAUTION
If possible, the engines and the APU should be shut down
throughout the aircraft de-icing operations. If the engines or the
APU must be kept running, do not spray de-icing fluid directly
into the air intake, exhaust nozzle, probes, sensors or drains,
and close the bleed air valves.

CAUTION
If type IV de-icing and anti-icing products have been used,
any traces of fluid residue must be carefully removed from the
moving components of the aircraft (areas: flaps, slats, airbrakes,
ailerons, horizontal stabilizer, elevators, rudder, landing gear,
etc.).
If traces of fluid are present, clean the aircraft (refer to task 20-
31-00-100-808).

NOTE
Refer to CODDE 2 for the concentration and use of anti-icing
products.

DGSM151457 - REVISION 5 Page 1 . 020 . 1

 FALCON 8X
GROUND SERVICING
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS–AUTHORIZED
ANTI-ICING PRODUCTS
GENERAL
The concentration of type I (SAE AMS 1424), type II (SAE AMS
1428), type III (SAE AMS 1428) and type IV (SAE AMS 1428) fluid
is to be adapted to the climatic and ambient conditions to optimize
the protection time.
The more severe the climatic conditions (high wind, jet blast, snow
fall or freezing rain), the shorter the protection time will be.
DE-ICING
For de-icing, use diluted type I (SAE AMS 1424), type II (SAE AMS
1428), type III (SAE AMS 1428) or type IV (SAE AMS 1428) fluid.
De-icing can be performed with passengers on board, just before
starting.
DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

If possible, use a hot mixture of water and type I, type II, type III or
type IV fluid. The protection time will be shorter if the mixture is cold.
ANTI-ICING
For anti-icing, use pure type II (SAE AMS 1424), type II (SAE AMS
1428), type III (SAE AMS 1428) or type IV (SAE AMS 1428) fluid.
When pure, type II, type III or type IV fluid is to be used with care.
Type II, type III or type IV fluid viscosity and adherence is greater than
for type I fluid. Together with the effect of aerodynamic friction, these
characteristics improve aircraft streamlining upon take-off run phase.
This provides elimination of snow or ice and gradual elimination of
the anti-icing fluid.

CHECK OF THE TIRE PRESSURE INFLATION

See figure 1.

CAUTION
In case of extremely cold temperatures (OAT below −15°C/5°F),
the wheel valve can be more easily damaged.
It is preferable to perform the manual checking operation in a
hangar.

NOTE
The check must be performed with tires at ambient temperature
(aircraft at a standstill for 3 hours minimum after landing). If there
is a drop in pressure, recorded over 24 hours, see section 11.010
DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

for the procedure to be followed.

It is recommended to over-inflate the tire by 3.3% for each 10°C
decrement (2% for 10°F decrement):
– if the pressure check is performed inside the hangar with an
ambient temperature difference greater than 15°C (27°F) with
the outside,
– if the ambient temperature prevailing at the arrival airport is
lower than that of the departure airport by 25°C (45°F) or
more.
See section 11.010 for the values of over-inflation pressures.

NOTE
It is possible to measure the pressure with a pressure gauge.

– Check the pressure on the “SERVICING” page:

z NLG tires: between 163 and 180 psi (11.2 and 12.4 bar),
z MLG tires: between 180 and 200 psi (12.4 and 13.8 bar).
– Perform this check, and:
z pay particular attention to pressure drop after 5 to 10 landings
following a tire replacement,
z more often, if there is a pressure drop greater than 10%
between two consecutive checks.

DRAINING WATER FROM THE FUEL TANKS

CAUTION
Under icing conditions (temperatures below −5°C (23°F)), avoid
draining water.
Do not turn the fuel tank sump draining tool when pushing it up
to open the fuel sump.
If water is not drained at least once a week, microbiological
contamination can occur inside the fuel tanks.

NOTE
Water draining gives the best results:
– when the aircraft has been at a standstill for at least 5 hours,
DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

– before refueling,
– early in the morning (low temperature conditions),
– when the aircraft is horizontal: use the spirit level located on
the RH beam in the NLG well.

NOTE
It is recommended to drain water from the feeder tanks at least
every 7 days.
Sump draining of the other tanks is recommended every
2 months, but should be performed more often in the following
conditions :
– aircraft operating in inter-tropical areas,
– aircraft using suspect fuel,
– aircraft which are in storage,
– aircraft operated occasionally,
– aircraft operating trans-oceanic flights,
– aircraft operating low altitude flights.
For aircraft under an “Expanded Prevention Program for Fuel
Tank Contamination” (FSA 28-00-013), it is recommended to
drain all sump valves at least once a week.

In case of malfunction during the data loading procedure, contact
an approved mechanic.

1. OVERVIEW

DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

This procedure describes how to update the Obstacles and
Navigation databases of the HUD-Computer Unit (HUD-CU).
Although the HUD databases and the periodic INDS EPIC
AIRSPACE & COMM NAVIGATION DATA database are different,
their cycle numbers must be consistent in order to prevent display
of the " HUD: DB OLD " fault message.
The aircraft must be in ground configuration.
This procedure includes the following steps:
– data package download and aircraft preparation,
– databases upload,
– databases integrity check,
– databases version verification.
This procedure requires the use of both the CMC and the
maintenance computer. The CMC must be used onboard the
aircraft and not on a remote terminal. The maintenance computer is
dedicated to the use of the 615A Mini Loader application.
This procedure requires:
– The data package downloaded from the dedicated UASC portal
(https://secure.uasc-int.com). This data package includes:
z the databases themselves (both aeronautical data and
obstacles) related to the next upcoming SVS Data Cycle,
z the 615A Mini Loader application which is used to do the
upload.
DGSM151457 - REVISION 5 Page 2 . 050 . 1
 FALCON 8X
GROUND SERVICING
DAILY SERVICING–HUD DATABASE LOADING PROCEDURE

– The HashMyFiles tool, also downloaded from the UASC Portal

(if not already installed on the maintenance computer).

The pressure refueling system allows selection of either partial
or full refueling by means of the "FULL/PARTIAL" switch.
The best configuration for optimum full pressure refueling is
when:
– the fuel truck refuels at a pressure of 3.5 bar (50 psi),
– the aircraft attitude is as follows:
z the bubble of the spirit level is between the two lines,
z roll is at the zero position.

NOTE
The best gauging accuracy is obtained when the aircraft is

TIRE INFLATION
INFLATION
– Remove the wheel valve plug.
– Connect a nitrogen supply to the wheel valve.
– Inflate the tire. The nominal pressures are:
z for the NLG tires: 11.8 bar (171 psi),
z for the MLG tires: 13.1 bar (190 psi).
– Disconnect the nitrogen supply from the wheel valve.
– Check that the wheel valve and tire are pressure tight.
– Screw the wheel valve plug by hand.

DASSAULT AVIATION Proprietary Data

OVER-INFLATION
– It is recommended to over-inflate the tire by 3.3% for
each 10°C decrement (2% for 10°F decrement):
z if the pressure check is performed inside the hangar with an
ambient temperature higher than the outside temperature by
15°C (27°F) or more,
z if the ambient temperature prevailing at the arrival airport is
lower than that of the departure airport by 25°C (45°F) or
more.

NOTE
Changes in ambient temperature will cause a corresponding
change in inflation pressure (gauge pressure).
A 3°C (5°F) decrease in temperature will result in a 1% decrease
in inflation pressure.
The pressure should be set for the most adverse conditions
(coldest temperature expected for operation).

– The tables below give the recommended over-inflation pressures

and need to be used in these cases.

NOTE
Some radial tires may show a slight deformation in the sidewall
after being mounted on the wheel and inflated. See detail S.
– The deformation results from a small amount of extra rubber
at the splice of sidewall rubber. It is normally less than 15 mm
(0.6 in) wide and may extend the full height of the sidewall.
– The deformation is orientated approximately 15° from the
