Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive orders operators of Dassault Falcon 10 aircraft to inspect engine fire‑extinguishing system non‑return valves following Dassault Service Bulletin F10‑A291 and to replace any defective valves. Compliance is mandatory before the next flight. CASA issued the AD to stop extinguishing agent becoming trapped in pipework during an engine fire. Operators bear inspection and replacement costs and may be grounded until defects are fixed; the AD references the manufacturer’s bulletin and a DGAC telex and is issued under CASA’s regulatory authority.
