Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23059 · Flight controls
Bombardier Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes, certificated in any category, having serial numbers 9002 through 60086 inclusive, 60088 through 60091 inclusive, 60098, 60100, 60105, 60107, and 60111.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that incorrect information was found in certain calculation tables in a section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) that addresses certain slat-flap conditions. This AD requires revising the Non-Normal Procedures section of the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with corrected procedures to use in certain slat-flap conditions. 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 incorporate the information in the applicable sections of the applicable AFMs identified in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD.
