Proposed Rule

Required AFM Landing Procedures
The FAA proposes a new airworthiness directive for certain Bombardier models (CL-600-1A11 (600); CL-600-2A12 (601); CL-600-2B16 variants 601-3A, 601-3R, and 604). It would require revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) so flightcrews must follow new procedures when landing under certain conditions (including landings with partial flap configurations) after tail strikes occurred.
