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), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a smoke-in-cabin event due to a non-sustaining electrical fire. This AD requires installation of protective sleeves on the bonding jumper wires of affected galleys and lavatories. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2018-07-09 applies to

ModelsCL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24, CL-600-2E25, CL-600
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 10001–10344, 15001–15382, 19001–19044.

Serial range 10001-10344 applies to CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702); 15001-15382 applies to CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900); 19001-19044 applies to CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000).

Whether AD 2018-07-09 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:

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 2018-07-09 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.
