Part 1 - OEB Report
1. Executive Summary
In March 2008 Transport Canada conducted an operational evaluation (OE) of the Bombardier Learjet 60XR.
Beginning with aircraft serial number 319, Bombardier Learjet introduced a modified configuration of the Learjet Model 60 as the new production aircraft. The older Learjet 60 configuration was discontinued and the new production configuration is marketed as the Learjet 60XR. As stated, the Learjet 60XR is not a new aircraft but an upgrade of a certified aircraft that has been in service for fourteen (14) years. Both aircraft are listed on TCCA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) A-128 and share the same model number. For purpose of brevity and clarity the nomenclature “LJ60 and LJ60XR.will be used from this point forward in this report to distinguish between the Learjet Model 60 variants.
Bombardier’s application, dated 29 February 2008 states that: Since the most restrictive training, checking and currency differences are proposed at Level C/B/C,… request that all the benefits associated with Same Type Rating be granted to the LJ60 and LJ60XR. The application also proposed Operator Differences Requirements (ODR) tables to identify the training checking and currency requirements for pilots transitioning from one variant to the other.
The Transport Canada Operational Evaluation was conducted in accordance with the procedures described in the Common Procedures Document (CPD) for Conducting Operational Evaluation Boards dated 10 June 2004.
TCCA did not have a formal OE process when the LJ60 was introduced. This report addresses both the LJ60 and LJ60XR variants.
This report details the findings of the OEB and accepts Bombardier’s proposal that the LJ60 and the LJ60XR should share the same type rating. This report will help Canadian commercial air operators in the development of training programs and Principal Operations Inspectors (POI) in the approval of operator training programs pursuant to Canadian Aviation Regulations Part VII Subpart 4. Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by subsequent operational evaluation determinations.
2. Purpose and Applicability
The primary purpose of this report is to specify Transport Canada master training, checking and currency requirements applicable to crews operating the Bombardier LJ60 and LJ60XR aircraft. This report will help commercial air operators in the development of training programs and POIs in the approval of operator training programs pursuant to Canadian Aviation Regulations Part VII Subpart 4. Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by subsequent operational evaluation determinations.
This report does not address the operation of this aircraft under CAR 604/CBAA POC.

Relevant acronyms are defined as follows:
Operational Evaluation Boards, 10 June 2004.
4. Background
Transport Canada (TCCA) Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) A-128 identifies the Learjet 60XR aircraft as Model 60 (serial number 60-319 and on). A detailed description of the new variant is provided as Note 5 of the TCDS.
The LJ60 and LJ60XR are all metal, pressurized, low-wing, turbofan-powered aircraft. Thrust is provided by two pod-mounted PW305A turbofan engines manufactured by Pratt and Whitney Canada, Inc. Each engine delivers 4600 lb of thrust at sea level. Engine-driven hydraulic pumps supply hydraulic power for braking, extending and retracting the landing gear, wing flaps, and spoilers. The flight controls are manually controlled through cables, bell cranks, pulleys, and push-pull tubes. Lateral and directional trim is accomplished by electrically-actuated trim tabs installed on the left aileron and the rudder. Longitudinal trim is accomplished by changing the angle of incidence of the horizontal stabilizer with an electrically operated linear actuator. Aircraft environmental systems provide heating, cooling, and pressurization for the crew, passenger, and cabin baggage compartments.
The new LJ60XR variant introduces new passenger cabin configurations, increased legroom, light emitting diode (LED) lighting and a new audio-visual system. The most significant LJ60XR upgrade is to the cockpit. The LJ60XR aircraft is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite; the out of production LJ60 has the older Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics.
The LJ60 and LJ60XR aircraft is capable of maintaining a cruise speed of up to 0.81 Mach. The aircraft maximum operating altitude is 51,000 ft. The maximum operating range is 2499 nm (4.625 km) with four passengers, ISA, and IFR reserves.
Both the FAA and EASA/JAAT in their operational evaluation reports identified that transitioning from the Pro Line 4 equipped LJ60 to the Pro Line 21 equipped LJ60XR can be addressed by differences training.
The FAA FSB report dated June 4, 2007 identified that the minimum training requirement are satisfied at level C. The EASA/JAAT JOEB report dated 08 August 2007 shared the FAA findings.
Bombardier requested that an OEB be conducted to validate the FAA and EASA/JAAT findings and to award same type rating. The OEB Chairman is a qualified LJ60 captain. TCCA and Bombardier Aerospace agreed that the OEB exercise would consist of a modified T3 exercise which would be followed by a LJ60/ LJ60XR OEB administrative catch-up exercise. The FSB and JOEB reports along with the Common Procedures Document are the primary references.
This operational evaluation is based on a LJ60 to LJ60XR differences ground training provided by Bombardier, Flight Training Center, DFW Airport, Texas. No Flight training was conducted but a T3 limited evaluation was completed in the LJ60XR FFS simulator (TC ID #405)
The first phase of the operational evaluation was conducted at the Bombardier DFW training center in Texas. During the period March 27-29 the OEB Chairman completed:
- Recurrency training in the LJ60 full flight simulator (FFS) (TC ID #210);
- Three days of instructor-led LJ60XR ground school difference training;
- T3 test in Learjet LJ60XR FFS (TC ID #405);
The second phase, completed on March 30th and 31st, consisting of an administrative catch-up process created this OEB report that addresses both the LJ60 and LJ60XR. The OEB findings presented in this report are based upon the OEB Chairman’s initial and differences training and his LJ60 operational experience. The FAA FSB report and EASA’s JOEB reports were also used as references in making the TCCA findings.
The OEB did not conduct any Operational Suitability Flights, nor submit any Operational Review Items (ORI’s) to Bombardier because the scope of the TCCA operational evaluation was the validation of the EASA and FAA operational evaluations of the Learjet Model 60XR.
The OEB is responsible for conducting future evaluations of the LJ60 and LJ60XR aircraft. Re-evaluation may be required if a new derivative is produced or significant hardware or software modifications are made to existing production LJ60XR aircraft. OEB activity may also be required when new systems such as HUD, EVS or SVS are introduced. The Board will then determine the associated impact on training, checking and currency and will amend this report accordingly.
5. Pilot "Type Rating" Requirements
With reference to Canadian Aviation Regulation CAR 401.06 a new pilot's type rating is assigned to the Learjet Model 60 and the designated licence endorsement is: LR60. This operational evaluation has determined that same type rating can be awarded and that the LJ60XR should share the LR60 licensing designator with the older production aircraft.
The aircraft currently considered a high performance aircraft requiring an individual type rating that can be issued after a qualifying flight in accordance with CASS 421.40(3)(c). The Canadian Type Certificate Data Sheet (A-128) for the LR60 specifies the needs for One Pilot and One Copilot The issuance of a type rating would require a completion of a Pilot Proficiency Check for Commercial Operations in accordance with CASS 421.40(3)(a)(iii)(A).
6. Master Common Requirements
The Master Common Requirements specify those items of crew qualification that apply to both variants.
- Aircraft Operating Weights
- Aircraft maximum operating weights are the same for both aircraft.
- Handling and Performance
- Handling and performance are identical for both aircraft.
- V Speeds (V1, VR, V2, VREF, VApp)
- All maximum speeds for landing gear and flaps are identical for both aircraft.
V Speeds for takeoffs and approaches are dependent upon aircraft weight and are identical for both aircraft when operated at the same weight. - Presentation of critical Vspeeds is identical for both aircraft.
- All maximum speeds for landing gear and flaps are identical for both aircraft.
- Normal ‘Final’ Landing Flap Setting
- The normal ‘final’ landing flap is the same for both aircraft.
- Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
- The AFCS pilot/machine interface is similar for both aircraft.
- Engine Indicating System (EIS)
- Electrical/mechanical or analog gauges were replaced by EIS. Although a major change in display technology was introduced, the displayed information is similar in format and intuitive to the pilot.
- Primary and Secondary Flight Controls
- Pilot operation of the primary and secondary flight controls is the same for both aircraft.
- Aircraft Systems
- The operation of all systems is the same on both aircraft.
- Takeoff, Climb and Descent Profiles
- The takeoff, climb and descent profiles are the same for both aircraft.
- Approach Profiles
- The approach profiles are the same for both aircraft.
- Landing Minima Category
- This operational evaluation is limited to category 1 operation’s.
- The following straight-in approach minima (based on Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) for both aircraft are:
Aircraft Landing Flap Category LJ60 40 degrees C LJ60XR 40 degrees C
Forward Observer Seat
- Neither the LJ60 or LJ60XR are equipped with a forward observer’s seat. Checking should be conducted in a suitable flight-training device with an observer seat that provides the check pilot a suitable view of the flight deck for the purpose of checking.
- Compliance with CASS 720.16(2)(a) cannot be demonstrated because of the lack of a forward observer's seat on the flight deck or suitable forward passenger seat.
Immediate Action Items
- Immediate Action items are identical for both aircraft.
- Abnormal and emergency procedures are presented in Quick Reference Handbooks (QRH). The QRH’s for both aircraft share an identical presentation format and direct the pilots to carry out emergency or abnormal procedures in a methodical and structured manner.
Operational Documents
- Both the LR60 and LR60XR share the same QRH, FCOM, AFM and MMEL.
7. Master Difference Requirements (MDRs)
Master Difference Requirements (MDRs) for the LJ60 and LJ60XR are shown in the table below. The requirements apply to operators whose crews operate both variants, or apply for conversion between variants. The Difference Level Definitions (e.g. A/A/A) are specified in accordance with the criteria contained in, Common Procedures Document for Operational Evaluation Board (OEB) FAA -JAA –TCCA where the first letter refers to training requirements, the second to checking requirements, and the third to currency requirements.
AIRPLANE TYPE RATING - LR60 |

---|---|---|---|
TO AIRPLANE |

--------- | C/B/C | |
LJ60XR | C/B/C | --------- |
MDR Table
Level C differences training is the highest level required for the LJ60 and LJ60XR. In the case of pilots moving from one variant to the other, operators and training providers must provide pilots with training permitting them to become fully cognizant of the differences in flight deck layout and avionics controls.
8. Acceptable "Operator Difference Requirements" (ODRs) Tables
ODR tables are used to show an operator's compliance method. Acceptable ODR tables for operators conducting Mixed Fleet Flying (MFF) operations, or convert between the LJ60 and LJ60XR are shown in Appendix 1. MFF is defined as operations in which crews alternately fly the LJ60 and LJ60XR between PPC /training events.
The ODR tables represent an acceptable means to comply with MDR provisions, for the aircraft evaluated, based on those differences and compliance methods shown. The tables do not necessarily represent the only acceptable means of compliance for operators with aircraft having other differences, where compliance methods (e.g., devices, simulators, etc) are different, or for combinations of aircraft not evaluated. For operators flying variants, which are the same as the aircraft used for the ODR table development, and using the same compliance methods, the ODR tables in Appendix 2 have been found acceptable by TCCA. Equivalent tables, therefore, may be approved by the POI for a particular operator.
Operators flying variants with differences not shown in, or addressed by, the acceptable ODR tables attached in Appendix 1; or operators seeking a different means of compliance, must prepare and seek TCCA approval of specific ODR tables applicable to their fleet. New ODR tables proposed by operators should be coordinated with the Program Manager, Flight Technical in Certification and Operational Standards (AARTF) to ensure consistent treatment of variants between various operators’ ODR tables and compatibility of the MDR table with MDR provisions. The operator retains the originals of the approved ODR tables. The Program Manager Flight Technical will retain copies of approved Learjet aircraft ODR tables.
9. Specifications for Training
In accordance with CAR 421.40 the pilot type rating for the Learjet 60 and Learjet 60XR is designated as LR60.
Further, due to the design of this aircraft, the type shall not be eligible for PPC grouping in accordance with CAR Parts VI or VII. The concept of grouping is not applicable in the context of the LJ60 and LJ60XR variants as they are the same type-rating.
Initial, Transition and Upgrade Training:
The Bombardier DFW Training Center LJ60XR training program was closely modeled upon the original LJ60 training program and shares the same philosophy in use of resource material and courseware presentation whenever possible. Minimum training times requirements specified in CASS 724.115(31) Table 1 apply. Commercial operators must ensure that their approved training programs requirements are meet when contracting theirs crew member training to another organization.
Recurrent Training:
Annual recurrent training is accomplished in accordance with the operators approved training program that meets the standards of CASS 724.115. Minimum Ground and Flight (Simulator) specified in CASS 724.115(31) Table 2 apply.
Differences Training:
When any combination of the LJ60 and LJ60XR are flown, appropriate instruction in design and systems differences will be required for both airplanes, consistent with MDR provisions detailed in Section 8. In the future, when significant hardware or software product improvements are introduced for a single aircraft variant or for both the LJ60 and LJ60XR a reassessment of the differences training requirements may be undertaken by TCCA.
- Operator training from LJ60 to LJ60XR should emphasize the differences between the Pro Line 4 installation and the upgraded Pro Line 21 system.
- The OEB recommends that the amount of differences ground school training and systems integration training when transitioning from LJ60 to the LJ60XR is:
Day Classroom Training Systems Integration Training Hours 1 Introduction, Airplane General, Aural and Visual Warning, Lighting, System Indications, Communications, Navigation, Review ------- 8.0 2 Flight Instruments, AFCS, FMS, Review ------- 4.0 Systems Integration 4.0 3 Systems Integration 4.0 *Systems Integration 4.0 Exam Training Totals 24.0** * If a pilot in training is proficient with programming the FMS-5000 after the first two four-hour blocks of system integration training, the last four hours may be waived.
**Does not include time required for Exam
The training times provided in the preceding table were found to be acceptable by the OEB. These times should not be considered a minimum requirement if the student can demonstrate by test that the training objectives have been met in a shorter period of time.
- The OEB recommends that systems integrations training be at level C using the minimum devices that meet the level C requirements specified by the MDR table on page 11 Programming the Rockwell Collins FMS-5000 must be mastered before flight crew advance to flight training. If a pilot in training is proficient with programming the FMS-5000 after the first two hours blocks of system integration training, the last fours hours may be waived if the student passes a written tests consolidating knowledge and skills.
Special Event Training
- Special event training is recommended. Such training should be conducted to improve basic crew understanding and confidence regarding aircraft handling qualities, options and procedures as these relate to design characteristics and limitations. Examples of this training should include the following:
- Recovery from unusual attitudes;
- Handling qualities and procedures during recovery from an upset condition (e.g., wake vortex encounter);
- Operation of aircraft in icing environments including super cooled liquid droplet (SLD) events;
- Low Energy Awareness Training;
- High Altitude Stall Recovery;
- Engine Failure/Malfunction Recognition Training;
- The OEB also found that early exposure to the automatic flight control system (AFCS), and flight management system (FMS) is important, especially for pilots with no previous FMS experience. Establishing early confidence in manually flying the aircraft, converting from manual to automatic (FMS controlled) flight mode and back is equally important due to heavy reliance on the AFCS. In the event of a flight path deviation due to input error or system malfunction, the flight crew must be able to comfortably transition from automatic to manual mode and back in an orderly fashion.
- Similarly, exposure to the use of VNAV in the terminal environment including SIDs, STARs and LNAV/VNAV approaches is important. Establishing confidence in converting from basic autopilot modes to FMS VNAV controlled flight modes and back is equally important in order to cope with ATC clearance amendments to speed and altitude constraints.
Display of Jeppesen Approach Charts on MFD:
- Jeppesen approach and airport charts that can be displayed on the MFD do not meet requirements for an electronic flight bag because these charts cannot be displayed during all phases of flight. In particular, when the battery is placed in the “EMER” position, the MFD display is not powered. This constraint would require that valid charts in another approved format be available during IFR flight. CBAAC 0231 dated 2004.07.20 provides guidance to operators on the use of Electronic Flight Bags.
10. Specifications for Checking
Checking conducted shall be in accordance with CASS 724.108 schedule 1, as required.
11. Specifications for Currency
Currency is considered to be common for the LJ60 and LJ60XR. Currency will be maintained, or re-established, in accordance with CASS 724.115 through the approved Company training program.
The assessment of currency was not restricted to take-off and landing currency as the scope of this OE was to specifically evaluate the differences in avionics between the LJ60 and LJ60XR. The differences in avionics form the primary differences between the two aircraft.
Level C currency was assigned for ATA 34 Navigation related to the Proline 4/21 pilot interface to the avionics and Universal and Collins FMS when the LJ60XR is the base aircraft and the LJ60 the variant. The purpose of this currency level assignment was to ensure consistency with the currency level assigned when the LJ60 was the base aircraft and the LJ60XR was the variant. This OEB arrived at this determination based on analysis, rather than a practical evaluation.
12. Aircraft Regulatory Compliance Checklist
Any Canadian operator wishing to operate the LJ60 or LJ60XR aircraft will have to demonstrate to Transport Canada that the aircraft fully complies with all applicable CAR 605/704 parts before that aircraft enters service. A sample compliance checklist is included in Appendix 2 of this report.
POIs may contact the Program Manager of Flight Technical in Certification and Operational Standards, Flight Technical to obtain a sample checklist for guidance in determining an operator’s compliance with all applicable CAR 605/704.
13. Specifications for Devices and Simulators
Device and simulator characteristics are designated in Aeroplane and Rotorcraft Simulator Manual (TP 9685). The acceptability of differences between devices, simulators, and aircraft must be addressed by the POI. Requests for device approval should be made to the POI. The POI may approve those devices for that operator if their characteristics clearly meet the established TC criteria and have been qualified by the National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP).
14. Application of Report
All relevant parts of this report are applicable to operators on the effective date of this report.
15. Alternate Means of Compliance To This Report
The TCCA Program Manager Flight Technical should be consulted by the POI when alternate means of compliance, other than those specified in this report, are proposed. If an alternate means of compliance is sought, operators will be required to submit a proposed alternate means for approval that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of CPD and this OEB report. Analysis, demonstrations, proof of concept testing, differences documentation, and/or other evidence may be required.
In the event that alternate compliance is sought, training program hour reductions, simulator approvals, and device approvals may be significantly limited and reporting requirements may be increased to ensure an equivalent level of training, checking, and currency. TCCA or CBAA (if applicable) will generally not consider relief through alternate compliance means unless sufficient lead-time has been planned by an operator to allow for any necessary testing and evaluation.

Flight control locks No usage unless
|
The primary flight control systems on the standard aircraft complies. The on-ground gust locking of the control surfaces is accomplished by installing an adjustable nylon strap connecting the pilot's right-hand rudder pedal to the control wheel. This strap is not an integral part of the flight control systems. The presence and, in turn, engagement of the gust lock is unmistakable by the flight crew as it resides in their direct line of interface with the control column and rudder pedals. It is not possible to taxi or to move any of the primary flight controls without first removing the gust lock. Engagement of the gust lock thus requires intentional effort by the flight crew. | Aircraft Complies | ||
