Mandatory Bonding Fix for Certain Planes
If you operate or maintain Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 or BD-500-1A11 airplanes, the FAA proposes a rule requiring electrical bonding tests between the feed-through connectors and the forward side of the bulkhead at a certain frame. The rule would also require installation of two electrical bonding plates of connectors, as applicable, following the procedures in a Transport Canada airworthiness directive that the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference.
