The FAA's summary their words, unchanged

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of iced angle-of-attack (AoA) probes after take-off, with associated misleading airspeed indication and/or misleading stall warning. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with updated procedures related to manually activating heating of the AoA probes during line up, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Adoption of the Amendment 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 airworthiness directive (AD): 2019-23-17 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-19811; Docket No. FAA- 2019-0973; Product Identifier 2019-NM-187-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD becomes effective December 27, 2019. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX and Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019- 0273, dated November 4, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0273''). (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of AmericaCode 27, Flight controls. (e) Reason This AD was prompted by reports of iced angle-of-attack (AoA) probes after take-off, with associated misleading airspeed indication and/or misleading stall warning. A slow or late positioning of thrust levers into the take-off position in certain conditions can lead to probes being heated too late during the take- off run, which increases the risk of icing on probes after take-off. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could result in blocked AoA probes, possibly resulting in reduced control of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Requirements Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0273. (h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0273 (1) Where EASA AD 2019-0273 refers to its effective date, this AD requiresusing the effective date of this AD. (2) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0273 does not apply to this AD.
