Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This amendment directs operators of Bombardier CL-600-2A12 and CL-600-2B16 aeroplanes fitted with a tail-cone fuel tank to carry out the measures in Transport Canada AD CF-91-22R3 (27 May 1993). Mechanically, it requires installing a bonding jumper assembly to remove the risk of explosion after a lightning strike; an earlier amendment modified the level-control sensing line to end repetitive inspections. The requirement imposes a one-off technical modification, associated maintenance downtime and direct costs on affected operators, with compliance due before 31 December 1993.

Compliance: The Compliance for the previous issue of this Directive was “as directed in the Requirement Document with a revised effective date of 30 June 1992". The compliance for this issue is prior to 31 December 1993.

Background: During maintenance in the aft equipment bay the level control valve sensing line, which runs through the aft equipment bay for the tail cone fuel tank, has been broken. Amendment 1 required a modification to the tail cone fuel tank level control valve sensing line which provided terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirement. This amendment requires the installation of a bonding jumper assembly to remove the threat of an explosion following a lightning strike.
