Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11382 · Bombardier Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315 Series Airplanes
Bombardier Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315 Series Airplanes
Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, - 311, and -315 series airplanes; serial numbers 459 through 501, excluding serial numbers 462, 464, 467, 469, 478, 479, 481, 482, 487, 489, 490, 491, 493, 495, 498, 499, and 500; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, - 202, -301, -311, and -315 series airplanes, that requires modification of the wiring of the emergency lighting system. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the pilots from having full authority over the cabin emergency lights, which could result in delayed egress of the passengers and crew from the cabin during emergency evacuation.
