Corrected Speeds Improve Safety
The AD corrects incorrect approach speed adders and landing distance factors in the AFM non‑normal procedure for the SLAT FAIL (Caution) crew alerting message to avoid a reduced maneuvering margin to stick shaker (stall warning) activation. The FAA issued this AD to address that unsafe condition for certain Bombardier BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes, effective May 29, 2026.
Operators Must Revise Flight Manuals
If you operate Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 or BD-700-1A11 airplanes, you must revise the airplane flight manual (AFM) to correct approach speed adders and landing distance factors as specified in Transport Canada AD CF-2025-53. This AD is effective May 29, 2026, applies to 925 U.S.-registered airplanes (except serial number 9001), and the FAA estimates 1 work-hour per airplane at $85 each (total estimated cost $78,625 to U.S. operators).
