EASA AD CF-2022-05
Pneumatic — Air System — Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) Duct Clearance Low Through Fuselage
The Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2022-05 addresses the Pneumatic Air System Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) duct clearance issue on Bombardier Inc. model BD-700-2A12 aircraft, specifically serial numbers 70006, 70007, 70009 through 70019, 70021 through 70029, and 70031. This directive mandates inspection and adjustment of the bleed air ducts supplying the WIPS in the rear fuselage to ensure proper clearance and prevent potential bleed air leaks. The directive aims to maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft by preventing heat stress damage caused by undetected leaks.
