SmartOps

SmartOps is designed to offer a 'heads-up' to potential issues which have been experienced in the field by operators flying the Challenger 350 aircraft.  It also brings together related ADVISORY WIRES and other published material in ONE PLACE in an understandable format that is user friendly for the flying group.

SmartOps is limited to items that affect aircraft operation, starting when the Pilots board the aircraft until the aircraft begins taxiing and after engine shutdown.

This guide is organized in a logical sequence, alphabetically and by category. In the description section of each item, it is pointed out if an item is applicable to all Challenger 350 aircraft or to a specific Challenger model. However this is not always possible, so please keep that in mind while using this information. Only Advisory Wires and any other published Bombardier documents are endorsed by the manufacturer.

NOTES:

  1. When the RECOMMENDED ACTION provides an AW synopsis, it is only a partial explanation of the problem and action. Refer to the actual AW for full explanation.
  2. Any AMM Task reference is an aid to understanding the problem more thoroughly. The task is a MAINTENANCE function only and not to be accomplished by a crew members unless a crew member is qualified to perform maintenance tasks.
