Is AD 2014-02-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2014-02-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 6000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-02-01 apply to?

AD 2014-02-01 applies to Bombardier, Inc. — models CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-03- 13 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. AD 2011-03-13 required repetitive inspections of the rudder travel limiter (RTL) return springs and primary actuator, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD requires replacing certain RTL return springs, including doing related investigative and corrective actions, if necessary; which is terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This new AD also revises the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports of failure of the RTL return spring. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the RTL, which would permit an increase of rudder authority beyond normal structural limits and consequently affect the controllability of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 6000 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 10002–10333, 15001–15288.

CL-600-2C10 = Regional Jet Series 700/701/702 (S/N 10002-10333); CL-600-2D15 = Regional Jet Series 705 and CL-600-2D24 = Regional Jet Series 900 (S/N 15001-15288).

Whether AD 2014-02-01 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2014-02-01 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
