What to do

Operators must inspect the floor structure for excessive polyurethane tape and trim any overhanging pieces within 16,800 hours air time from the original AD effective date of May 18, 2016. The inspection and corrective actions should follow Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-53-055, Revision B or later approved revisions.

Summary

Airworthiness Directive CF-2016-14R1 is issued by Transport Canada and applies to Bombardier Inc. aircraft models CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, and CL-600-2E25. The directive addresses the issue of excessive polyurethane tape on the floor structure of these aircraft, which may not meet flammability requirements and could allow fire propagation beneath the floor. It mandates inspection and trimming of any overhanging tape on the floor structural members.

What changed

This revision of Airworthiness Directive CF-2016-14 extends the compliance time from 12,600 hours air time to 16,800 hours air time, aligning with updated maintenance check intervals. The directive continues to require inspection and removal of excessive tape on the floor structure as originally mandated.

Why it matters

This directive is critical for aviation professionals to prevent potential fire hazards caused by improperly trimmed protective tape on floor structures. Compliance ensures continued airworthiness and safety of affected Bombardier aircraft, helping operators and maintenance teams avoid fire propagation risks under the floor.
