Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8795 · Bombardier Inc. Airplanes
Bombardier Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier Inc. DHC-8-301, DHC-8-311.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-8-300 series airplanes, that requires modifying the airplane fire detection system and revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include procedures related to operating the system. This amendment is prompted by reports of several oil fires in the inter compressor case (ICC) assembly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent severe structural damage to the airplane due to an internal engine fire within the ICC.
