Airworthiness Directive 2013-03-08

What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, & CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking found on the upper and lower Web of the engine support beam. This AD requires revising the maintenance program. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the engine support beam, which could result in failure of the engine support beam and affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2013-03-08 applies to
Serial ranges correspond to variants: CL-600-1A11 (CL-600) SN 1004-1085; CL-600-2A12 (CL-601) SN 3001-3066; CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A/3R Variants) SN 5001-5194; CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variants) SN 5301-5665 and 5701 and subsequent. AD also requires revisions to operator maintenance documents per 14 CFR 91.403(c).
Whether AD 2013-03-08 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.
