Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2006-05-11. Comply with the one in force.
Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, serial numbers 7003 through 7999 inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. This action requires revising the airworthiness limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness of the aircraft maintenance manual by incorporating procedures for a functional test of the pilot input lever of the pitch feel simulator unit. This action also requires a functional test of the pilot input lever of the pitch feel simulator unit, and corrective action if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent undetected failure of the shear pin of both PFS units simultaneously, which could result in loss of pitch feel forces and consequent loss of control of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
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.
