FAA Revises Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Regional Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has revised an airworthiness directive (AD) for Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, expanding its applicability and eliminating repetitive inspections. The new directive aims to detect and correct chafing of electrical cables on the wing root, which could lead to loss of flight control system and reduced airplane controllability.
