✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Air
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure hoses for hydraulic systems number 1 and 2 chafing against the pylon in the aft equipment bay. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the engine-driven pump pressure hoses for any damage and minimum clearance between the engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure hose and case drain, suction pressure hose, and surrounding pylon structure; and corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) requires compliance actions that involve inspecting and potentially replacing aircraft parts. This affects operators of Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes, leading to direct costs for labor and parts. The AD has financial implications for businesses operating these aircraft, particularly regarding maintenance and regulatory compliance requirements.
