Bombardier pilots get new flight manual pages for slat-flap problems

The US aviation regulator is requiring Bombardier to update the flight manuals for some of its business jets. This change gives pilots corrected procedures to follow if the wing's movable parts, called slats and flaps, malfunction.

A small error in a flight manual can have large consequences. This update means pilots now have the correct information to handle a specific wing malfunction, which reduces the risk of an accident. It's a reminder that even highly automated systems still rely on accurate human procedures.
