Summary
The EASA Safety Information Notice No. 2008-12, issued on 2008-02-27, addresses the identification and removal from service of Air Driven Generator Power Centre Contactors on Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, and CL-600-2D24 aircraft. This notice references Transport Canada Airworthiness Directive CF-2008-14 and Bombardier Aerospace Service Bulletin 670BA-24-021 Revision A.

What Changed
This Safety Information Notice does not introduce a new regulation but communicates that the unsafe condition identified is due to manufacturing defects and not related to design approval. It clarifies that EASA cannot issue an Airworthiness Directive for this issue, which is instead addressed by Transport Canada's AD CF-2008-14. The notice serves to inform EU member states and operators about the safety concern and the applicable Transport Canada directive.
Why It Matters
