Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16411 · Flight controls
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 7003 through 7990 inclusive, and 8000 and subsequent.
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 (h)(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:
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Do the following actions.
(1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations section of the Canadair Regional Jet Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) CSP A-012 to include the information in Canadair Regional Jet Temporary Revision (TR) RJ/178-1, dated March 8, 2010; as specified in the TR. The Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/178-1, dated March 8, 2010, introduces procedures for performing a stall protection system test. Operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in the Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/178-1, dated March 8, 2010.
Note 2: This may be done by inserting a copy of Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/178-1, dated March 8, 2010, into the Canadair Regional Jet AFM CSP A-012. When this Canadair Regional Jet TR has been included in general revisions of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in the Canadair Regional Jet TR.
(2) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise Appendix A—Certification Maintenance Requirements of Part 2 of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM) by incorporating the information in Bombardier TR 2A-43, dated May 7, 2008; as specified in Bombardier TR 2A-43. The initial compliance time for the new MRM task identified in Bombardier TR 2A-43 is at the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) of this AD. Thereafter, except as provided by paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, no alternative task intervals may be used. Bombardier TR 2A-43, dated May 7, 2008, introduces procedures for a function check of the stick pusher capstan.
(i) Prior to the accumulation of 5,000 total flight hours.
(ii) Within 500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD.
Note 3: The actions required by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD may be done by inserting a copy of Bombardier TR 2A-43, dated May 7, 2008, into Appendix A—Certification Maintenance Requirements of Part 2 of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 MRM. When this Bombardier TR has been included in general revisions of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 MRM, the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 TR may be removed from the MRM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in Bombardier CL-600-2B19 TR 2A-43, dated May 7, 2008.
Note 4: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
