New AD On Challenger Series Aircraft

AD 2005-04-07

New cold weather ops AD for all Challenger series including CRJ's. My question is, why only Challengers? Should this apply to everything with wings? I realize the Challenger has had a couple tough months, but this seems a little narrow minded to me.

I know that our guys won't even think about taking off with even the slightest hint of frost in our 604!!

Not the first time an AD like this came out. The DC-9-10 with hard wings had a similar procedure.

Unless I am mistaken (somebody will let me know! ) All the airplanes listed in the above AD are hard wing models, i.e. no slats.
