Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier,

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–
600–1A11 (600), CL–600–2A12 (601),
and CL–600–2B16 (601–3A and 601–3R
Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by reports of the loss of
all air data system information provided
to the flightcrew, which was caused by
icing at high altitudes. This proposed
AD would require revising the exisitng
airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide
the flightcrew with procedures for
‘‘Unreliable Airspeed’’ that stabilize the
airplane’s airspeed and attitude. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by September 26,
2019.
