This condition could lead to electrical short circuits and generator malfunctions.

What changed

CF-2019-22 introduces a mandatory inspection and rectification requirement based on Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-24-131. It applies to affected CL-600-2B19 aircraft that have not fully complied with the service bulletin. This directive enforces compliance to prevent electrical wire damage and associated risks.

Why it matters

This directive is critical for operators and maintenance teams to prevent potential electrical failures that could compromise aircraft safety. Addressing the chafing issue reduces the risk of generator malfunction and electrical shorts, which are serious safety hazards. Compliance ensures continued airworthiness and regulatory adherence.
