Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) airplanes, CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of the cage assembly, window louver panel assemblies (WLPAs), and blowout panels (BOPs), and corrective action if necessary. This AD was prompted by reports of several cases of damaged or detached decompression WLPAs and BOPs. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct damaged and detached WLPAs and BOPs. A detached WLPA or BOP could delay smoke detection in the cargo compartment, and in the event of a cargo compartment fire, this could lead to an uncontrolled cargo compartment fire.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 100 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Which aircraft AD 2015-24-04 applies to

ModelsCL-600-2B19, CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600-2E25, CL-600
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 7003–?, 10002–?, 15001–?, 15001–?, 19001–?.

Applies only to airplanes configured with a Class C cargo compartment. CL-600-2B19 = Regional Jet Series 100 & 440 (S/N 7003 and subsequent); CL-600-2C10 = Regional Jet Series 700/701/702 (S/N 10002 and subsequent); CL-600-2D15 = Regional Jet Series 705 (S/N 15001 and subsequent); CL-600-2D24 = Regional Jet Series 900 (S/N 15001 and subsequent); CL-600-2E25 = Regional Jet Series 1000 (S/N 19001 and subsequent).

Whether AD 2015-24-04 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 2015-24-04 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.
