The following airworthiness directive (AD) may be applicable to an aircraft which our records indicate is registered in your name. ADs are issued pursuant to Canadian Aviation Regulation (CAR) 521 Division X

. Pursuant to CAR 605.84 and the further details of CAR Standard 625, Appendix H, the continuing airworthiness of a Canadian**r~gistered** aircraft is contingent up'?n compliance**wi t~**  all applicable ADs

. Failure to comply with the requirements of an AD may invalidate the flight authorization of the atrcraft

. Alternattve means of compliance shall be applied for 1n accordance with CAR 605.84 and the above*referenced Standard

. This AD has been issued by the Continuing Airworthiness Division (AAR DG), National Aircraft Certification Branch, Transport Canada, Ottawa, telephone 613 952-4357

. Number: ATA: Subject: CF-2014-21 28 Type Certificate: A-131 Fuel
- Fuel Leak From the Auxiliary Power Unit Fuel Boost Pump Electrical Conduit in the Right Landing Light Compartment Effective Date: 10 July 2014 Applicability: Bombardier Inc. model CL-600-2B16 aeroplanes, serial numbers 5906, 5910, 5912, 5917, 5919 to 5932, 5934, 5935, 5939, 5940, 5942 and 5948. Compliance: As indicated below, unless already accomplished. Background: Bombardier Inc

. has discovered fuel leakage in the auxiliary power unit (APU) fuel Boost Pump (BP) canister connector cavity

. On some of those aeroplanes , leakage was also noticed at the APU fuel BP electrical conduit connection in tre right hand landing light compartment. The root cause of the subject fuel leak is indentified to be the improper length of the female connector keyway located in the fuel BP canister, causing a shift of the electrical harness and its seals

. Available data indicates that on a hot day, due to the heat generated by the taxi light and/or landing lights on the ground , temperature in the landing light compartment can reach the fuel auto ignition temperature
. Therefore, presence of any fuel in the right hand landing light compartment is considered to be a safety hazard that warrants mitigating action. In order to help mitigate the potential safety hazard precipitated by any fuel leakage in the right hand landing light compartment, Bombardier Inc., has revised the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) through Temporary Revisions (TRs) 604/38 and 605/20 dated 16 June 2014 to restrict the operation of Taxi and Landing lights on the ground

. Transport Canada issued Emergency AD CF-2014-17 to mandate incorporation of the above AFM TRs

. To address the root cause of the subject fuel leakage from the APU fuel boost pump canister wiring conduit, Bombardier Inc

. issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) A605-28-008 that requires periodic inspection for fuel leaks and eventual the replacement of the discrepant fuel BP canister connectors on affected aeroplanes. The ASB has been revised to include an additional inspection of the new connector wiring for damage and this AD is issued to mandate the compliance with ASB A605-28-008 Revision 2 requirements.

Pursuant to CAR 202.51 the registered owner of a Canadian aircraft shall , within seven days, notify the Minister in writing of any change of his or her name or address
