Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15953 · Flight controls
Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604) Airplanes
This AD applies to the airplanes listed in Table 1 of this AD, certificated in any category.
| Bombardier model— | Serial Nos.— |
|---|---|
| CL-600-1A11 (CL-600) airplanes | 1004 through 1085 inclusive. |
| CL-600-2A12 (CL-601) airplanes | 3001 through 3066 inclusive. |
| CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R) airplanes | 5001 through 5194 inclusive. |
| CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) airplanes | 5301 thorough 5665 inclusive. |
Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the Normal Procedures section of the applicable airplane flight manual (AFM) by inserting a copy of the applicable TR listed in Table 2 of this AD. Thereafter, operate the airplanes per the procedures specified in the applicable TR, except as provided by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. If the operator has an AFM that is not listed in Table 2 of this AD, within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the AFM using a method approved by the FAA or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent).

(2) When information identical to that in a TR specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the applicable AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the TR may be removed from that AFM.
(3) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness by incorporating the applicable task in the TR listed in Table 3 of this AD. For all tasks identified in the TRs, the initial compliance time starts from the later of the times specified in paragraph (f)(3)(i) and (f)(3)(ii) of this AD. Thereafter, except as provided by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, no alternative maintenance task intervals may be used.
(i) Within the compliance time specified in the “Check Interval” or “Task Interval,” as applicable, after the effective date of this AD.
(ii) Within the compliance time specified in the “Check Interval” or “Task Interval,” as applicable, after the date of issuance of the original Canadian airworthiness certificate or the date of issuance of the original Canadian export certificate of airworthiness.
