Airworthiness Directive 2014-26-09
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-03-05, for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes. AD 2014-03-05 required modification of the air data probes and sensors. This new AD continues to require modification of the air data probes and sensors. This new AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by a report that the manufacturer has determined that some completion centers used the heater current/brake temperature monitor unit (HBMU) logic circuit to control the line voltage of the drain mast heaters. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct an unannunciated failure of two pitot static probe heaters, which could affect controllability of the airplane in icing conditions.
Which aircraft AD 2014-26-09 applies to
Applies to airplanes equipped with any electrical wiring heater current/brake temperature monitor unit (HBMU) installed in accordance with any FAA supplemental type certificate specified in Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-30-021, Revision 01, dated November 21, 2012; airplanes on which the corresponding service request for product support action (SRPSA) has been incorporated are considered to already meet the AD requirements.
Whether AD 2014-26-09 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.
