The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of some passenger oxygen mask dispensing units (MDUs) with lanyards that are too long to meet the proper length specifications of the airplane. This AD requires replacing the affected MDUs with units that meet the proper length specifications, replacing the placards, and re-identifying the assemblies.
