Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Canadair Model CL-215-1A10 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the main distribution center for loose or missing attachment hardware, and correction of any discrepancy identified. This amendment is prompted by a report of total loss of electrical power on one airplane during flight, which was caused by shorting out of the voltage regulator in the main distribution center. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent total electrical failure during flight, which could adversely affect the continued safe flight of the airplane.
