What to do
Operators must amend the Aircraft Flight Manual and Maintenance Requirement Manual within 30 days of the previous revision's effective date and install the Low Temperature Ground Wing Anti-Ice System within 11,000 flight hours or 5 years, whichever occurs first, from 24 June 2016. Aeroplanes with earlier service bulletin installations must update hardware as specified in Revision B of the service bulletin within the same timeframe. Flight crews must be informed of all procedural changes.
Summary
The Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2016-19R2 addresses cold weather operations for Bombardier Inc. model CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes, serial numbers 7003 and subsequent. It mandates the installation of a Low Temperature Ground Wing Anti-Ice System to prevent wing contamination during ground operations in cold weather. This directive updates previous revisions and includes maintenance and flight manual changes to enhance take-off safety.
What changed
CF-2016-19R2 supersedes the previous revision CF-2016-19R1 and mandates Revision B of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-034, which adds missing instructions and hardware for the cockpit control panel connector. It also introduces a new Certification Maintenance Requirements task for testing the Left Low Heat Monitoring Test Relay. Additionally, it corrects earlier documentation errors related to the Aircraft Flight Manual references.
Why it matters
This directive is crucial for operators and maintenance teams to ensure safe take-off performance in cold weather by preventing ice accumulation on wing surfaces. Compliance reduces the risk of premature stalls caused by contaminated wings, thereby enhancing flight safety. It also ensures that maintenance procedures and flight crew instructions are up to date with the latest safety enhancements.
