The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has enacted a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This directive was issued in response to revised operational loads identified in aircraft design reviews that could impact structural integrity. The AD requires using updated repair manuals and reassessing previous repairs to ensure aircraft safety. Effective April 15, 2025, this action is based on a related directive by Transport Canada and aims to prevent potential structural issues during flight.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is making sure certain airplanes stay safe by checking and updating the rules on how they are fixed, just like how kids need to use the latest instructions to build their LEGO sets correctly.
