What to do
Operators of BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 aircraft must review and implement the new and more restrictive airworthiness limitation tasks as specified in ACLP AWL publication BD500-3AB48-11400-02 Issue No. 020.00. These tasks must be completed within the defined thresholds, repeat intervals, or discard times. Compliance is required by the effective date of 2026-09-11, and adherence to any later approved revisions of the AWL is also acceptable.

What changed
CF-2026-40 introduces new and more restrictive airworthiness limitation tasks for the BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 aircraft models. It requires operators to complete these updated tasks within specified thresholds, repeat intervals, or discard times as outlined in the latest ACLP AWL publication Issue No. 020.00 dated 18 June 2026.
