These systems prevent ice buildup on wing leading edges during flight, which is critical for safe aircraft operation.\n\n**Why it was cancelled:** The manufacturer received further reports of wing slat anti-icing hose disconnections, making the original requirements outdated. A newer directive (**AD/AMD 10/4 Amendment 1**) now covers this safety issue instead.\n\n**Who it affected:** Owners and operators of AMD Falcon 10 series aircraft — small business jets originally manufactured by Dassault (later AMD).\n\n**Current status:** This directive is **cancelled and no longer in force**. Anyone operating these aircraft should follow the replacement directive instead."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"This directive's original scope (inspection and modification of wing anti‑icing flex lines and connections on AMD Falcon 10 aeroplanes) has been superseded.
