What to do
Operators of Bombardier CL-600-1A11, CL-600-2A12, and CL-600-2B16 aircraft must inspect their aircraft within 12 months from March 24, 2022, to determine if smoke hoods with part number MR-10008N are installed. If found, the smoke hoods and associated placards must be removed and replaced with new placards according to the applicable Bombardier Service Bulletin. For aircraft not covered by the listed service bulletins, operators should contact Bombardier for instructions.
Summary
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2022-10 addresses the installation and use of cockpit smoke hoods on Bombardier Inc. model CL-600-1A11, CL-600-2A12, and CL-600-2B16 aircraft. The directive clarifies that certain smoke hoods installed as part of the interior configuration are not considered required safety equipment and may cause confusion during smoke or fire events. It mandates inspection and removal of these smoke hoods if found installed.
What changed
CF-2022-10 introduces a new requirement to inspect for the presence of smoke hoods, part number MR-10008N, in specified Bombardier aircraft and remove them if installed. It also requires removal of any associated placards and installation of new placards as specified in Bombardier Service Bulletins dated September 22, 2021. This directive is a new regulation aimed at preventing flight crew confusion during smoke/fire emergencies.
Why it matters
This directive is important for aviation professionals because it reduces the risk of delayed response during smoke or fire events caused by misunderstanding the function of installed smoke hoods. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure compliance to maintain airworthiness and safety standards. Compliance helps avoid potential safety hazards and regulatory penalties related to non-compliance with Canadian Aviation Regulations.
