Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19629 · Hydraulic power
Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
This AD applies to the Bombardier, Inc., airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this AD.
(1) Model CL-600-1A11 (600) airplanes, serial numbers 1004 through 1085 inclusive.
(2) Model CL-600-2A12 (601) airplanes, serial numbers 3001 through 3066 inclusive.
(3) Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes (601-3A Variant), serial numbers 5001 through 5134 inclusive.
(4) Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes (601-3R Variant), serial numbers 5135 through 5194 inclusive.
(5) Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes (604 Variant), serial numbers 5301 through 5665 inclusive and 5701 through 5988 inclusive.
Note 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD: Certain Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes might be referred to by the marketing designation CL-605.
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-14-05, which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL- 600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2010-14-05 required inspection for the part numbers of the system and brake accumulators, and repetitive replacement of affected accumulators. This AD adds requirements for relocating the accumulators and revising the existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD also adds optional terminating action for certain airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap or end cap failure that resulted in the loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2010-14-05, with revised formatting, service information, and affected part numbers. Do the following actions as applicable.
(1) Within 50 flight hours after August 5, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-14-05), inspect to determine the part numbers of the system accumulators numbers 1, 2, and 3, and brake accumulators numbers 2 and 3 that are installed on the airplane. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number of each accumulator can be conclusively determined from that review. If all of the installed accumulators have part number (P/N) 2770571-102, 2770571-103, 2770571-104, 2770571-105, 601R75139-3 (11094-4), or 601R75139-1 (11093-4), no further action is required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD: At the applicable time in paragraph (g)(2)(i), (g)(2)(ii), or (g)(2)(iii) of this AD, replace the accumulator with a new, overhauled, or refurbished accumulator with the same part number, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin listed in figure 1 to paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of this AD.
(i) For each accumulator having P/Ns 08-60163-002 (601R75138-1), and 08-60164-002 (601R75138-3), as applicable, that has accumulated more than 3,650 total flight cycles as of August 5, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-14-05): Replace the accumulator within 100 flight cycles after August 5, 2010.
(ii) For each accumulator having P/N 08-60163-002 (601R75138-1), and 08-60164-002 (601R75138-3), as applicable, that has accumulated 3,650 total flight cycles or fewer as of August 5, 2010: Replace the accumulator before the accumulation of 3,750 total flight cycles on the accumulator.
(iii) For each accumulator having P/N 08-60163-002 (601R75138-1), and 08-60164-002 (601R75138-3), as applicable, for which it is not possible to determine the number of flight cycles accumulated: Replace the accumulator within 100 flight cycles after August 5, 2010.
(3) Thereafter, before the accumulation of 3,750 total flight cycles on any accumulator having P/Ns 08-60163-002 (601R75138-1), and 08-60164-002 (601R75138-3), as applicable, replace the accumulator with a new, overhauled, or refurbished accumulator having the same part number, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin listed in figure 1 to paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of this AD.
For each accumulator with one of the part number and serial number (S/N) suffixes listed in paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(4) of this AD, the repetitive replacement specified in paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(3) of this AD is not required.
(1) P/N 08-60163-002 with S/N suffix TNAE.
(2) P/N 08-60164-002 with S/N suffix TNAE.
(3) P/N 601R75139-3 (11094-4).
(4) P/N 601R75139-1 (11093-4).
Within 60 months or 2,400 flight cycles, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD, relocate the hydraulic system accumulators as specified in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(4) of this AD, as applicable. Relocation of the hydraulic system accumulators as required by this paragraph does not terminate any repetitive replacement required by paragraph (g)(2) or (g)(3) of this AD.
(1) For Model CL-600-1A11 (600) airplanes, S/Ns 1004 through 1085 inclusive: Relocate accumulators as specified in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) and (i)(1)(ii) of this AD.

(3) For Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes, S/Ns 5301 through 5665 inclusive: Relocate hydraulic system No. 3 accumulator, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-29-013, Revision 02, dated April 18, 2016.
(4) For Model CL-600-2B16 (605) airplanes, S/Ns 5701 through 5982 inclusive and subsequent (i.e., Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant), referred to by the marketing designation CL-605): Relocate hydraulic system No. 3 accumulator, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-29-006, Revision 02, dated April 19, 2016.
Within 50 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the tasks specified in figure 2 to paragraph (j) of this AD.
After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as required by paragraph (j) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions or intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (n)(1) of this AD.
