Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-17-
12, which applied to all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600) and 
CL-600-2A12 (601) airplanes and certain Model CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-
3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2025-17-12 required revising the 
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to 
incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since 
the FAA issued AD 2025-17-12, the FAA has determined that certain 
serial numbers for affected Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variants) airplanes 
are not included in the applicability of AD 2025-17-12. This AD 
continues to require the actions specified in AD 2025-17-12 and adds 
airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address 
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 18, 2026.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of October 31, 
2025 (90 FR 46330, September 26, 2025).

ADDRESSES: 
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under 
Docket No. FAA-2025-3435; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2025-17-12, Amendment 39-23122 (90 FR 
46330, September 26, 2025) (AD 2025-17-12). AD 2025-17-12 applied to 
all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600) and CL-600-2A12 (601) 
airplanes and certain Model CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 
Variants) airplanes. AD 2025-17-12 required revising the existing 
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or 
more restrictive airworthiness limitations.
    The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 21, 2025 
(90 FR 48414). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF-2024-16, dated May 23, 
2024 (Transport Canada AD CF-2024-16) (also referred to as the MCAI), 
issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. 
The MCAI states that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations 
have been developed.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require the actions 
specified in AD 2025-17-12 and add airplanes to the applicability. The 
FAA is issuing this AD to address new or more restrictive limitations. 
Failure to comply with these new or more restrictive limitations could 
adversely affect the continued airworthiness of the airplane.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under 
Docket No. FAA-2025-3435.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from an anonymous commenter who supported 
the NPRM without change.
    The FAA also received comments from Bombardier and the Citizens 
Rulemaking Alliance. The following presents those comments and the 
FAA's responses.

Request To Expand the Applicability

    Bombardier requested that the FAA expand the applicability of the 
proposed AD to include Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes, 
serial numbers (S/Ns) 6193 through 6202 and 6204. Paragraph (c)(3) of 
the proposed AD specifies S/Ns 6050 through 6192 inclusive.
    The FAA does not agree with this request. The adjusted serial 
number range of Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes would address 
airplanes not delivered with Revision 10 of the Bombardier Challenger 
650 Time Limit Maintenance Check (TLMC), Publication No. CH 650 TLMC. 
However, this AD addresses the Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) 
airplanes not delivered with Revision 9 of the Bombardier Challenger 
650 TLMC, Publication No. CH 650 TLMC. To add airplanes and mandate 
Revision 10 of the TLMC would expand the AD scope beyond what was 
proposed in the original notice and would necessitate reissuing the 
notice, reopening the period for public comment, considering additional 
comments subsequently received, and issuing a final rule. In light of 
this, and in consideration of the amount of time that has already 
elapsed, the FAA has determined that further delay of this AD would not 
be in the interest of safety. However, the FAA may consider additional 
action, including further rulemaking, on this

[[Page 43026]]

issue. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Revise the Service Information

    Bombardier requested that the FAA mandate the latest revisions of 
the TLMC documents: Bombardier Challenger 600 TLMC, Publication No. PSP 
605, Revision 40, dated September 30, 2025; Bombardier Challenger 601 
TLMC, Publication No. PSP 601-5, Revision 47, dated September 30, 2025; 
Bombardier Challenger 601 TLMC, Publication No. PSP 601A-5, Revision 
43, dated September 30, 2025. Bombardier also requested that the FAA 
refer to the latest revision of the TLMCs instead of the temporary 
revisions (TRs) identified in the proposed AD because all of the TRs 
have been published and included in the last published revision of the 
TLMC.
    The FAA does not agree with these requests. Mandating the newest 
TLMC revisions would expand the AD scope beyond the original notice. 
However, the FAA may consider further rulemaking on this issue. The FAA 
also provides the following clarification for the requirement to 
incorporate the information specified in the TRs. If operators 
incorporate the newest TLMC revisions into the maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, they are in compliance with the 
requirement to incorporate the TRs, provided the TLMC contains the same 
information as specified in the TRs.
    Similarly, if operators incorporate later TLMC revisions into the 
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, they are in 
compliance with the requirement to incorporate the TLMCs specified in 
this AD, provided the language is identical to the information 
specified in the TLMCs identified in this AD. The FAA has not changed 
this AD in this regard.

Request To Justify Forgoing Notice and Comment or Issue an NPRM

    The Citizens Rulemaking Alliance requested that the FAA either 
provide its justification for finding good cause to bypass notice and 
comment procedures, or convert this action to an NPRM and stay the 
effective date for non-critical compliance elements. The commenter 
asserted the FAA has not adequately justified use of the good cause 
exemption to bypass notice and comment and the 30-day delayed effective 
date.
    The FAA notes the comment was submitted in response to an NPRM for 
which the FAA provided a 45-day comment period. This final rule is 
effective 35 days after its publication in the Federal Register. 
Therefore, no change to this AD is necessary.

Request To Make Incorporation by Reference (IBR) Materials Reasonably 
Available

    The Citizens Rulemaking Alliance requested that the FAA make IBR 
material available and free to the public during the comment period. 
The commenter asserted that this AD incorporates by reference 
proprietary service information that is not reasonably available to the 
public.
    The FAA's practices comply with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act and 1 CFR part 51. The FAA makes IBR 
materials available in the AD docket when the final rule is published 
in the Federal Register, following formal approval of the IBR by the 
Office of the Federal Register. Materials may only be posted before the 
final rule's publication if they are already publicly available or if 
there is written consent from the owner of the IBR material. All 
relevant materials incorporated by reference will be accessible in the 
AD docket on Regulations.gov, which the public can access without 
registration or fees.
    The FAA also provides summaries and access details in the preamble 
and regulatory text, makes materials available for inspection at FAA 
and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) offices, offers 
publisher contact information, and obtains formal IBR approval from the 
Office of the Federal Register. These efforts are intended to ensure 
that all IBR materials meet the ``reasonably available'' standard 
required by 1 CFR part 51. The FAA did not change this AD as a result 
of this comment.

Request To Comply With the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    The Citizens Rulemaking Alliance requested that the FAA revise the 
AD to comply with the PRA if reporting is required or remove or suspend 
any reporting provisions until PRA requirements are satisfied. If 
reporting is intended to be voluntary, the commenter requested the FAA 
clarify that in the AD.
    The FAA notes this AD does not require reporting. If an AD were to 
require reporting, the preamble of the AD would include a paragraph 
titled ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' that would provide the applicable 
OMB control number, required PRA statements, and the estimated time to 
collect the required information (burden). Any costs associated with 
the reporting requirement would be included in the Costs of Compliance 
section in the preamble of the AD. Therefore, the FAA did not change 
this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Consider Impact on Small Entities

    The Citizens Rulemaking Alliance requested that the FAA either 
provide the factual basis for its Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 
certification that the AD will not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities, or prepare an initial 
regulatory flexibility analysis.
    The FAA provides the following clarification. The RFA of 1980 (5 
U.S.C. 601-612), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121) and the Small 
Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-240), requires Federal agencies 
to consider the effects of the regulatory action on small business and 
other small entities and to minimize any significant economic impact. 
The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses and not-for-
profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are 
not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with 
populations of less than 50,000.

Small Entities to Which This AD Applies

    The FAA used the definition of small entities in the RFA for this 
analysis. The RFA defines small entities as small businesses, small 
governmental jurisdictions, or small organizations. In 5 U.S.C. 601(3), 
the RFA defines ``small business'' to have the same meaning as ``small 
business concern'' under section 3 of the Small Business Act. The Small 
Business Act authorizes the Small Business Administration (SBA) to 
define ``small business'' by issuing regulations.
    The SBA (2023) has established size standards for various types of 
economic activities, or industries, under the North American Industry 
Classification System (NAICS). These size standards generally define 
small businesses based on the number of employees or annual receipts. 
The SBA definition of a small business applies to the parent company 
and all affiliates as a single entity. To identify small entities, the 
FAA first identified the primary NAICS of the entity or parent company, 
and then used data from different sources (e.g., company annual 
reports, Bureau of Transportation Statistics) to determine whether the 
entity meets the applicable size standard. The following table provides 
the SBA size standards for all industries with at least 1 impacted 
domestic entity and the estimated

[[Page 43027]]

number of affected small entities within each NAICS industry.

Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance Requirements

    The FAA estimates the total cost of the maintenance or inspection 
program actions required from this AD to be $7,650. Since operators 
incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their 
affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-entity estimate is 
more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. The following table 
provides the estimated per-entity compliance cost by each affected 
NAICS industry.

Significant Alternatives Considered

    The FAA evaluated the alternative of not promulgating this AD but 
ultimately deemed that this alternative would create a significant 
safety hazard. The FAA is issuing this AD to address unsafe conditions, 
and this AD is necessary to maintain safety in air commerce.

RFA Conclusions

    Based on average compliance costs, the FAA has determined that the 
financial impacts of this AD are not disproportionate to small 
entities. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Provide Additional Cost Information

    The Citizens Rulemaking Alliance requested that the FAA provide 
transparent cost assumptions including airplane downtime, logistical 
constraints, and supply chain risks.
    The FAA recognizes that, in doing the actions required by an AD, 
operators might incur indirect costs in addition to the direct costs. 
The FAA considered the impact that this AD will have on affected 
operators and determined this AD will not trigger any downtime costs, 
logistical constraints, or supply chain risks because revising the 
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, is an 
administrative action that can be performed without impacting 
operations. Since the FAA has assessed and disclosed all known costs of 
the AD requirements in the Costs of Compliance section of the proposed 
AD, and the commenter did not provide additional cost data for the FAA 
to consider in its cost analysis, the FAA determined that the existing 
analysis is complete. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of 
this comment.

Conclusion

    These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority 
of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. 
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design 
Authority, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition 
described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant 
data, considered any comments received, and determined that air safety 
requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing 
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for 
minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 
None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 573 airplanes of U.S. 
registry and 390 operators. The FAA estimates the following costs to 
comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained 
actions from AD 2025-17-12 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection 
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the 
agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. 
Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes 
for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator 
estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the 
FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the actions to be $7,650 
(90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
    The FAA estimates the total industry cost of this AD to be 
$2,983,500 ($7,650 x 390 operators).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to 
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the 
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, 
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. 
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight 
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for 
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary 
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that 
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to 
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, 
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
