What to do
Affected operators must complete all new or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations from the ACLP AWL publication BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue No. 018.00, within 30 days of the directive's effective date of 1 January 2025. Compliance must be within the specified thresholds, repeat intervals, or discard times. Using later Transport Canada-approved revisions of the AWL publication also satisfies this directive's requirements.
Summary
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2024-43 addresses time limits and maintenance checks related to airworthiness limitations for Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (ACLP) aeroplanes, specifically models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This directive mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations to ensure continued safe operation of these aircraft. The directive applies to all serial numbers 50001 and subsequent for BD-500-1A10, and 55001 and subsequent for BD-500-1A11.
What changed
CF-2024-43 introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations in the ACLP Airworthiness Limitations publication BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue No. 018.00, dated 20 June 2024. These changes include added tasks, reduced thresholds, repeat intervals, and discard times for existing tasks. Operators must now comply with these updated requirements within specified timeframes.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures that maintenance practices reflect the latest safety standards, reducing the risk of unsafe conditions. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update their maintenance programs to avoid regulatory violations and maintain aircraft airworthiness. Failure to comply could compromise aircraft safety and lead to operational disruptions.
