EASA SIB CASA-2024-11

Localizer Tracking Anomaly

Transport Canada Civil Aviation Safety Alert CASA 2024-11 addresses a localizer tracking anomaly affecting MHI RJ Aviation ULC CRJ series aircraft, including CRJ100/200/440, Challenger 850, and CRJ550/700/701/702/705/900/1000 models. The alert highlights an issue where aircraft autopilots fail to complete planned turns to capture the localizer, causing overshoot of the localizer centerline during approaches, which can lead to missed approaches or the need for ATC vectors. This problem is known across all CRJ models and is more prevalent on long runways with narrower localizer beams, especially in urban areas with newer or updated localizer antennas.
