Reading Time:about 11 minutes
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.
