Summary
We are revising an earlier NPRM for the products listed above. This action revises the earlier NPRM by expanding the scope. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the aircraft fuel system against fuel tank safety standards * * *.
[A]ssessment showed that supplemental maintenance tasks [inspections of fuel tank bonding jumpers, wiring harnesses, and drain valve components, among other items and actions; and applicable corrective actions] are required to prevent potential ignition sources inside the fuel system, which could result in a fuel tank explosion. * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
