FAA Mandates Stricter Checks for Regional Jets
Published Date: 3/5/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary

This affects several popular jet models and means operators must follow these new rules soon to avoid safety risks. While it might cost some time and money, it’s all about keeping passengers and crews safe up in the sky!

Operators Must Update Maintenance Programs
If you operate MHI RJ Aviation ULC regional jets (models CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2C11, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600-2E25), the FAA proposes a rule that would require you to revise your existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) tasks. The revisions must follow the tasks specified in a Transport Canada airworthiness directive that the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference.
Passenger and Crew Safety Increased
The FAA proposes this airworthiness directive to address an unsafe condition on several MHI RJ Aviation ULC regional jet models. Requiring the new or more restrictive AMM tasks is intended to keep passengers and crews safer on flights operated with the affected models.
