Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

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 the finding of an uncertified main landing gear (MLG) inboard retraction actuator bracket pin installed on an in- service airplane. This AD requires inspection of the MLG inboard retraction actuator bracket for a part number, and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct uncertified pins in the MLG inboard retraction actuator bracket, which could result in pin failure, leading to an MLG extension without damping, and a potential for MLG structural damage and possible collapse during landing.

Which aircraft AD 2014-13-16 applies to

ModelsCL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600-2E25, CL-600
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 10002–?, 15001–?, 19001–?.

CL-600-2C10 = Regional Jet Series 700/701/702 (S/N 10002 and subsequent); CL-600-2D15 = Regional Jet Series 705 and CL-600-2D24 = Regional Jet Series 900 (S/Ns 15001 and subsequent); CL-600-2E25 = Regional Jet Series 1000 (S/Ns 19001 and subsequent).

Whether AD 2014-13-16 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2014-13-16 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.
