## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. 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:

There have been several incidents of shorting and sparks due to de-icing fluid ingress into the cockpit of CL-600-2C10 and CL-600-2D24 aircraft. De-icing fluid can enter between the windshields and side windows, leading to possible damage to the electrical components and wires as it comes into contact with cockpit floodlight electrical connections.

De-icing fluid in contact with cockpit floodlight electrical connections can result in possible arcing and fire. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
