On CTLS aircraft, the metal spring damper in the nose gear assembly was replaced by a polyurethane element. What it does is reduce re-bound after a drop in on the nose wheel. It also stops the nose wheel suspension from bottoming out (going clunk). It is standard on the LS and was drop tested and certified.
CT Firewall and Oil Hose Sleeve Upgrade
As many of you may be aware, one of the production changes requested on newer CT’s distributed in North America was the addition of a firewall blanket and oil hose sleeving in the engine compartment in order to provide additional fire protection and reduced cabin noise. These changes were implemented in late 2006. The original firewall is carbon fiber coated with fireproof epoxy resin.
