Airworthiness Directive 2012-10-07

What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702); CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705); CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900); and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of deformation of the pressure regulator on the oxygen cylinder, which was attributed to batches of raw material that did not meet required tensile strength. This AD requires an inspection to determine if certain oxygen pressure regulators are installed, and replacement of oxygen cylinder and regulator assemblies (CRAs) containing pressure regulators that do not meet required material properties. We are issuing this AD to prevent elongation of the pressure regulator neck, which could result in rupture of the oxygen cylinder, and in the case of cabin depressurization, oxygen would not be available when required.
Which aircraft AD 2012-10-07 applies to
S/N 10002-10999 apply to CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700/701/702); S/N 15001-15990 apply to CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900); S/N 19001-19990 apply to CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000). Note: the prep script's applicability-window regex captured the wrong span of text for this AD; this entry was corrected against the AD's actual (c) Applicability section in the cached full text.
Whether AD 2012-10-07 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
