INSPECTION OF THE WING ANTI-ICING BALL JOINT
 
1. PLANNING INFORMATION
A. EFFECTIVITY
This Service Bulletin is applicable to FALCON 2000 aircraft with serial numbers 1 through 231.
B. REASON
Some FALCON 2000 operators reported internal object debris in the wing anti-icing ducting.
Depending on the size and location of the debris, the wing leading edges/slats might be supplied with
improper anti-ice airflow.
Investigation revealed that debris originated from the flow guide of a ball joint located downstream of
the wing anti-ice valve.
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to check the integrity of the ball joint flow guide and take
corrective actions in case of damage.
C. DESCRIPTION
The operation consists in inspecting the wing anti-icing ball joint, and depending on the inspection
results:
• replacing the ball joint (and the pipe attached to it) in case of damage to the flow guide and/or,
• performing a borescope inspection of all wing anti-icing pipes in case of damage and release of
debris from the flow guide.
D. COMPLIANCE
If you choose to comply with this Service Bulletin, accomplishment is to be performed during the next
“Z” inspection.
E. APPROVAL
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of DOA nr. EASA.21J.051.
F. LABOR
Estimated labor-hours:
• Refer to Service Bulletin Commercial Summary.
• An engine run-up is necessary to perform the leak check after wing anti-icing valve installation.
NOTE: These labor-hours only concern the work described in this Service Bulletin and do not include
other maintenance work that may be performed on this occasion.
