Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12112 · Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 Series Airplanes
Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 Series Airplanes
Model CL-600-2B19 series airplanes, having serial numbers 7003 through 7357 inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 series airplanes, that currently requires, among other actions, certain revisions to the Airplane Flight Manual; and removal of all elevator flutter dampers. That AD also requires installation of new elevator flutter dampers, and replacement of shear pins and shear links with new improved shear pins and shear links. This amendment adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD; and requires replacing certain shear pins with new, improved shear pins; and, for certain airplanes, inspection of the maintenance records to determine replacement status of the shear pins; and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent premature failure of the shear pins of the elevator damper, which may increase the likelihood of jamming or restricting movement of the elevator and the resultant adverse effect on controllability of the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
