Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD- 500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that the engine feed pressure switches were installed with no secondary locking mechanism and can become loose and cause a fuel leak. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections at the engine feed pressure switch locations and installation of a flange adaptor with lockwire to terminate the repetitive inspection, as specified in a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
