✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Airplanes by FAA
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that the flap system on-board recorder (FSOBR) interfaces with the flap control unit signals and may result in the flap control unit monitors tripping, causing Flap Fail messages and possibly an uncommanded flap movement. This proposed AD would require the disconnection of the FSOBR and prohibit future installation of this system. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) mandates compliance actions for Bombardier airplane owners, directly impacting operational costs and compliance with FAA regulations. Affected businesses must ensure disconnection of the FSOBR system, which could escalate maintenance costs.
