FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Regional Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes to address issues with the activation mechanism of chemical oxygen generators, which could lead to unavailability of supplemental oxygen and passenger/cabin crew incapacitation during an in-flight decompression.
