Summary
The Airworthiness Directive CF-2025-01 issued by Transport Canada mandates updated time limits and maintenance checks for Bombardier BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 aircraft models, including Global Express, Global Express XRS, Global 6000, Global 5000, and Global 5000 featuring GVFD. This directive addresses mid-life airworthiness limitations as specified in the updated TLMC manual revisions. It ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing compliance with revised inspection intervals and maintenance tasks.
What changed
CF-2025-01 introduces changes to Part 2 of the Airworthiness Limitations section in the TLMC manual for the affected Bombardier aircraft. These changes include new or more restrictive maintenance tasks, revised inspection thresholds and repeat intervals, and removal of obsolete tasks. The directive requires operators to comply with these updated limitations to maintain aircraft safety.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams as it mandates adherence to updated maintenance schedules that reflect improved inspection techniques and in-service experience. Non-compliance could lead to unsafe conditions and regulatory violations. It helps ensure the structural integrity and safety of the affected Bombardier aircraft throughout their service life.
