           Background: Transport Canada received a report of an incident where the insulation covering on the IDG cable harness on a Regional Jet was chafed down to bare wire; there was also evidence that a brief flash fire occurred. In addition, Transport Canada has received two reports of chafing damage to the main engine right fuel manifold on RJ aircraft.

           This Directive requires inspection of IDG cables to verify clearance and, if necessary, corrective action to ensure adequate clearance and/or cable replacement. These actions are intended to ensure the integrity of the IDG cables and fuel manifolds.
