    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released a final rule regarding certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This rule, effective March 31, 2021, mandates replacing a specific fire detection and extinguishing (FIREX) control unit due to reports of unit failures that could lead to an inability to detect fires. The affected airplanes must have this part replaced within 24 months to ensure safety. The directive does not impact previous procedures but allows for alternative methods of compliance through proper channels.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says some airplanes have a fire safety part that might not work right, so they need to change it within two years to keep the planes safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain Bombardier Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This comes after reports of a malfunction where the inboard multi-function spoiler (MFS) surfaces failed to deploy due to missing notches on the piston seal of the MFS power control units (PCUs). The proposal requires inspection and possible replacement of the affected MFS PCUs to ensure safety and prevent potential structural damage or injury. This proposed directive is open for public comments until April 12, 2021.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for certain Bombardier airplanes, addressing an issue with the wiring of trim switches that caused uncommanded horizontal stabilizer movements. This directive requires the installation of new trim switch relays to prevent such incidents, which could increase crew workload and potentially lead to loss of airplane control. Affected aircraft must comply with this rule within 3,000 flight hours or five years from March 17, 2025. The directive applies to specific Bombardier aircraft models, and detailed installation instructions are available in the referenced service bulletins.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine toy airplanes that have a part that sometimes moves by itself when it shouldn’t. This rule says they need to put a special piece inside to make sure it stays still unless told to move, keeping it safe for everyone flying.
