Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22464 · Auto flight
Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 20003 through 20500 inclusive, and 20501 through 20867 inclusive.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-07- 13, which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. AD 2020-07-13 required revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with new warnings for "Autoflight" and "Engine Failure in Climb During ALTS CAP." This AD requires revising the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with new warnings for "Autoflight" and "Engine Failure in Climb During (V) ALTS CAP or (V) ALTV CAP." This AD was prompted by a revision to the procedures to ensure that all applicable altitude capture modes utilized and annunciated in the affected fleet are included and to more clearly denote these altitude capture modes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing AFM to include the information specified in “Autoflight” procedure in Section 02-04, “System Limitations,” of the LIMITATIONS section, and “Engine Failure in Climb During (V) ALTS CAP or (V) ALTV CAP,” procedure in Section 03-32, “Powerplant,” of the EMERGENCY PROCEDURES section; of the Bombardier Challenger 300 Airplane Flight Manual (Imperial Version), Publication No. CSP 100-1, Revision 69, dated July 4, 2022 (for airplanes having serial numbers 20003 through 20500 inclusive); or the Bombardier Challenger 350 Airplane Flight Manual, Publication No. CH 350 AFM, Revision 34, dated June 14, 2022 (for airplanes having serial numbers 20501 through 20867 inclusive); as applicable.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): For obtaining the procedures for Bombardier Challenger 300 AFM (Imperial Version), Publication No. CSP 100-1, use Document Identification No. CH 300 AFM-I.
Note 2 to paragraph (g): For obtaining the procedures for Bombardier Challenger 350 AFM, Publication No. CH 350 AFM, use Document Identification No. CH 350 AFM.
