AD from Bombardier dated 20/8/08 tells us that all CL600 series crew will need to undertake and pass an internet based course on take-off procedures and winter ops by the first of November. Without this qualification we will not be allowed to fly in icing conditions.
All well and good except the course is not even available yet. This seems to have come out of the blue, even Bombardier's instructors didn't know it was on the way
So, what do you put your money on. A last minute rush, flawed (hurried) course or deferral of the deadline?
