Airworthiness Directive 2014-11-10
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-08-09 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2008-08-09 required revising the airworthiness limitations (AWL) section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness by incorporating procedures for repetitive functional tests of the pilot input lever of the pitch feel simulator (PFS) units and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD requires replacing certain PFS units with new redesigned PFS units, which would terminate the repetitive functional tests; and both adding and removing certain airplanes from the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports that the shear pin in the input lever of several PFS units failed due to fatigue; and by the development of a re-designed PFS unit, which eliminates the need for repetitive functional tests. We are issuing this AD to prevent undetected failure of the shear pins of both PFS units simultaneously, which could result in loss of pitch feel forces and consequent reduced control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2014-11-10 applies to
Model CL-600-2B19 is marketed as the Regional Jet Series 100 & 440 (CRJ100/CRJ440).
Whether AD 2014-11-10 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.
