New ceiling panel label requirement
If you own or operate Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 or BD-500-1A11 airplanes, the FAA is proposing a rule that would require new labels on ceiling panel liners and would require those liners to be re-identified. The change is proposed to address an unsafe condition and is currently open for comment as a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).
SNPRM may raise compliance costs
The FAA states this supplemental proposal would impose an additional burden compared to the earlier proposal and might cost more than originally planned. The agency is requesting public comments on these added burdens before finalizing the rule.
