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) 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. This AD was prompted by a report of rudder yoke components that had not been properly inspected at the supplier. This AD requires replacement of the left and right rudder yoke assemblies. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2018-03-11 applies to

ModelsCL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600-2E25, CL-600
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 10343–10343, 15326–15370, 19041–19042.

Serial-number applicability differs by designation: CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700/701/702) - s/n 10343; CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) - s/n 15326 through 15370 inclusive; CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) - s/n 19041 and 19042.

Whether AD 2018-03-11 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 2018-03-11 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.
