Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers (S/Ns) 7003 and subsequent, configured with a Class C cargo compartment, including airplanes modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01292NY, amended July 7, 2003 (http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/1BB5140B1D3A130086256D7A006DF851?OpenDocument&Highlight=st01292ny).
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that airplanes with a Class C cargo (baggage) compartment have liners that do not meet flammability requirements. This AD requires replacing the existing cargo compartment liners with liners that comply. We are issuing this AD to prevent inadequate fire protection in the cargo compartment and consequent uncontrolled fire.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 28 months after the effective date of this AD, replace the cargo compartment liners, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) of this AD, except as provided by paragraph (h) of this AD. For airplanes that do not have a configuration specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) of this AD: Prior to accomplishing the replacement, convert the cargo compartment liner to one of the configurations specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) of this AD, in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA; or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent). To meet the requirements of this AD, the applicable Bombardier service bulletin or COMTEK service bulletin must be followed in its entirety, except as provided by paragraph (h) of this AD, with no mixing of Bombardier-supplied or COMTEK-supplied liners.
