Disconnect faulty flap recorder
The FAA proposes that all Bombardier Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes must have the flap system on-board recorder (FSOBR) disconnected. The rule would also bar anyone from reinstalling that FSOBR in the future to prevent flap control unit monitors from tripping and possible uncommanded flap movement.
