What to do
Operators of Airbus Canada BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 aircraft must amend their Transport Canada-approved maintenance schedules within 90 days of the effective date, incorporating all tasks and limitations from AWL Issue No. 017.01. If maintenance schedules already include previous AWL issues, they must be updated to reflect the new and more restrictive requirements. Continued use of approved later revisions of the AWL publication is permitted for compliance.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive CF-2023-69 is issued by Transport Canada and applies to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership aeroplanes Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This directive mandates the implementation of updated Airworthiness Limitations as specified in Issue No. 017.01 of the Airbus Canada Limited Partnership AWL publication. It ensures that maintenance schedules reflect the latest mandatory maintenance tasks and limitations for continued airworthiness.
What changed
CF-2023-69 supersedes AD CF-2023-54 and introduces more restrictive and new maintenance requirements as detailed in AWL Issue No. 017.01 dated 17 August 2023. It requires operators to update their approved maintenance schedules to incorporate these latest Airworthiness Limitations, including revised thresholds, intervals, and phase-in compliance times. The directive also accepts the use of future approved revisions of the AWL publication for compliance.
Why it matters
This directive ensures that operators and maintenance organizations comply with the most current and stringent airworthiness limitations, reducing the risk of unsafe conditions due to outdated maintenance practices. It impacts maintenance planning, scheduling, and regulatory compliance, requiring updates to maintenance programs to maintain aircraft safety and regulatory approval. Compliance helps avoid operational disruptions and potential regulatory penalties.
