Airworthiness Directive 2016-13-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-08-05 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. AD 2016-08-05 required replacement of affected angle of attack (AOA) transducers. This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2016-08-05. This new AD was prompted by a report of a typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2016-08-05. We are issuing this AD to detect and replace incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers; incorrect calibration of the transducers could result in late activation of the stick pusher.
Which aircraft AD 2016-13-01 applies to
CL-600-2C10 = Regional Jet Series 700/701/702 (SN 10002-10999); CL-600-2D15 = Series 705 and CL-600-2D24 = Series 900 (SN 15001-15990); CL-600-2E25 = Series 1000 (SN 19001-19990)
Whether AD 2016-13-01 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:
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.
