Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) that requires owners and operators of Bombardier Challenger 600 series business jets to follow strict maintenance schedules.

Who it affects: Anyone who owns, operates, or maintains CL-600 series aircraft in Australia.

What must be done: Aircraft components must be inspected and permanently retired from service when they reach specific time limits or usage milestones. These limits are set out in the aircraft's official maintenance manual (Chapter 5 of the Canadair CL-600 Maintenance Manual).

Why it matters: This makes legally binding what was previously just a manufacturer recommendation. It ensures critical parts are replaced before they wear out, preventing mechanical failures and keeping passengers safe.
