    Reading Time:about 19 minutes

    The FAA released a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting specific models of Bombardier airplanes, namely the BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11. This rule demands updates to the current maintenance and inspection programs to introduce stricter limits for brake accumulators, as these components may exceed their lifespan and fail, potentially causing loss of brake function. Affected airplanes must comply with these new standards by early 2025, and operators have 90 days from the directive's effective date to update their procedures accordingly. The rule is necessary to prevent unsafe conditions that might lead to accidents or runway excursions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule telling certain Bombardier planes to check their brakes better because they could stop working and cause an accident. Plane owners have until early 2025 to follow these rules and keep everyone safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes. This proposal is due to a reported issue where a mislocated fuel pipe bracket assembly in the center fuel tank could lead to problems like fuel leakage and a risk of fuel ignition. The directive would require modifications to the fuel pipe bracket assembly and an operational test of the fuel system to ensure safety. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal, which aims to address the identified safety concern.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine some toy cars have a piece that isn't in the right place, and it could cause the car to leak and maybe catch fire. The grown-ups want to fix this by moving the piece to the right spot and testing it to make sure everything works fine. They're asking other grown-ups what they think about this idea.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule that affects certain Bombardier BD-700-1A10 airplanes. This rule was prompted by a report of smoke and overheating from emergency light batteries due to corrosion, causing an electrical short. The rule mandates inspections to check the batteries' replacement dates and replacements if necessary, plus updates to the maintenance schedule. The goal is to prevent the risk of fire on these airplanes by ensuring battery-related safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule to make sure certain airplanes check their emergency light batteries because they might get too hot and cause smoke. They want to make sure the batteries are replaced in time and are added to the airplane's regular check-up list to keep everyone safe.
