Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate previously held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34, dated September 19, 2024 (Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34), or Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34R1, dated October 15, 2024 (Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34R1).

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34 or Transport Canada Emergency AD CF-2024-34R1.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of damage to a variable frequency generator (VFG) power-feeder harness, resulting in the loss of the associated VFG and the posting of the L GEN FAIL (Caution) message. An investigation determined that the damage occurred after incorporation of Part C of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (ACLP) Service Bulletin (SB) BD500-534101 (ACLP SB BD500-534101) at Issue 005 through 008, which introduced a new bracket to move the VFG power-feeder harness. The FAA is issuing this AD to address damage to VFG power-feeder harnesses caused by unsupported VFG power-feeder harness length. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to a loss of generated power from both VFGs and loss of critical aircraft systems if alternate generators are also lost.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2024-04-11, Amendment 39-22690 (89 FR 21179, March 27, 2024) (AD 2024-04-11).
