EASA AD No.: 2017-0240
other effects on display and navigation systems. Investigation showed that a temporary defect of a
Cursor Control Device (CCD) can release erroneous but apparently valid data to the avionics.
Depending on the resulting flight deck effects, crew members may be unaware of any incorrect
barometric setting values.
This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a wrong flight altitude, possibly affecting continued
safe flight and landing.
To address this potential unsafe condition, DA is developing corrective actions through an upgrade
of “EASy” Avionics software. Pending the availability in service of those upgrades, DA issued an
Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) amendment and a Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)
amendment, related to dispatch with a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) or Enhanced
Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS).
For the reasons described above, this AD requires amendment of the applicable AFM and MMEL.
This AD is considered an interim measure and further AD action may follow.
Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s):
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:
AFM / MMEL Amendments:
(1) Within 10 flight cycles (FC) after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the actions as
required by paragraphs (1.1) and (1.2) of this AD, inform all flight crews and, thereafter,
operate the aeroplane accordingly.
(1.1) Amend the applicable Dassault AFM to incorporate ‘LIMITATIONS AVIONICS – Baro-
setting’ as specified in Table 1 of this AD. Amending the applicable AFM can be
accomplished by inserting a copy of the AFM Limitation, as specified in Table 1 of this AD
into the AFM. Amending the AFM by incorporating an AFM revision containing the
information of Table 1 is an acceptable method to comply with this paragraph.
Table 1 - LIMITATIONS AVIONICS – Baro-setting
(1.2) Amend the applicable DA MMEL, on the basis of which the operator has established the
applicable MEL, by incorporating the temporary dispatch restrictions ‘New Conditions of
dispatch with TCAS and EGPWS’ as listed in Table 2 of this AD, as applicable. Amending

the MMEL can be accomplished by inserting a copy of the applicable MMEL – CP page
into the MMEL.

(2) After amending the applicable DA MMEL of an aeroplane, as required by paragraph (1.2) of this
AD, dispatch on that aeroplane with inoperative TCAS or EGPWS is allowed, provided that the
operator’s MEL of that aeroplane has been amended, consistent with the dispatch restrictions
as specified in the applicable MMEL-CP (see Table 2 of this AD).
Optional Modification:
(3) After modification of an aeroplane in service (Dassault SB), as specified in Table 3 of this AD, the
operational restrictions as required by paragraph (1) of this AD can be removed from that
aeroplane.

Airworthiness Directive
Pacific Aerospace 750XL Aircraft
Issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand in accordance with section 72I(3A) of the Civil Aviation Act. An Airworthiness Directive
(AD) contains regulatory information which is mandatory. An operator of an aircraft must not operate the aircraft unless the operator complies
with every applicable AD issued by the Director in accordance with section 72I(3A) of the Civil Aviation Act. An AD is issued where the
Director believes on reasonable grounds that an unsafe condition exists in an aircraft or aeronautical product.
DCA/750XL/20 Fuel Tank Caps - Inspection
Applicability: Pacific Aerospace 750XL aircraft, all S/N up to and including XL216 fitted with fuel tank caps
P/N 457-1015-12.
Requirement: To prevent fuel loss from the aircraft fuel tanks due to a possible non-conforming fuel tank cap,
accomplish the following:
1. Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) Amendment:
Revise the Pacific Aerospace 750XL Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AIR 2825 and AIR 3237)
and introduce CAA Limitation Section, (1 page) dated 8 December 2017. Compliance with the
Limitations Section in the AFM is mandatory.
Note 1: A copy of CAA Operating Limitations (1 page), dated 8 December 2017 can be obtained from
the CAA web site at http://www.caa.govt.nz/airworthiness-directives/airworthiness-directives-
aeroplane/
2. Fuel Tank Cap Inspection:
Inspect the fuel tank caps P/N 457-1015-12 (4 positons) per the instructions in Pacific
Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/XL/089, dated 8 December 2017.
If a fuel cap does not release from the fuel tank as it is unlocked, or if the fuel cap locking lugs
do not conform to the requirements in PACSB/XL/089, then replace the defective cap with a
P/N 11-21087-1 fuel cap, before further flight. Remove the CAA Limitation Section, (1 page)
dated 8 December 2017 from the POH.
Note 2: Long range aircraft delivery ferry flights and oceanic flights are prohibited unless requirement 2
of this AD has been accomplished.
Note 3: Accomplishing requirement 2 of this AD is a terminating action for the repetitive inspections
mandated by requirement 1.
Note 4: On the 750XL aircraft, the fuel system design is such that the front tanks are continuously
topped up by motive-flow transfer from the rear tanks, until the latter are empty. If a front fuel
tank cap is not correctly closed, locked and sealed, then fuel could leak past the fuel cap until
all fuel other than the front tank contents is consumed. The fuel tank caps are thus critical
items to be checked before every flight.
Compliance: 1. POH Amendment:
From the effective date of this AD.
2. Fuel Tank Cap Inspection:
By 31 January 2018.
Effective Date: 15 December 2017

should be equipped with this software, as required by EASA AD 2015-0124R3.
Reason:
In 2015, occurrences were reported of multiple Angle of Attack (AOA) blockages. Investigation
results indicated the need for AOA monitoring in order to better detect cases of AOA blockage.
This condition, if not corrected, could, under specific circumstances, lead to undue activation of the
Alpha protection, possibly resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.

EASA AD No.: 2017-0246
To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus developed new FCPC software standards for
enhanced AOA monitoring and, consequently, EASA issued AD 2015-0124 (later revised) to require
these software standard upgrades.
Since EASA AD 2015-0124R3 was issued, it was identified that, for some cases, AOA blockages were
not detected by those FCPC software standards. Consequently, new FCPC software standards, as
specified in Table 1 of this AD, have been developed (Airbus modification (mod) 206412, mod
206413 and mod 206414) to further improve the detection of AOA blockage. Airbus issued Service
Bulletin (SB) A330-27-3222 and SB A330-27-3223 to implement these mods on in-service
aeroplanes.
For the reasons described above, this AD requires a software standard upgrade of the three FCPCs,
either by modification or replacement.
Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s):
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:
Note 2: Airbus SB A330-27-3222 and SB A330-27-3223 are collectively referred to as ‘the applicable
SB’ in this AD.
Note 3: For the purpose of this AD, Group 1 aeroplanes are those in pre-mod 206412, pre-mod
206413 or pre-mod 206414 configuration, as applicable. Group 2 aeroplanes are those in post-mod
(206412, 206413 or 206414) configuration.
Modification / Replacement:
(1) For Group 1 aeroplanes: Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify or replace
the three FCPCs, by installing software standards as specified in Table 1 of this AD, in
accordance with the instructions of the applicable Airbus SB.
