Airworthiness Directive 2019-05-12
one-timeAirworthiness 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 reports of a fractured main landing gear (MLG) orifice support tube (OST). This AD requires replacing the MLG OST, and revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2019-05-12 applies to
S/N 10003-10345 apply to Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700/701/702); S/N 15001-15429 apply to Model CL-600-2D15 (Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Series 900); S/N 19001-19052 apply to Model CL-600-2E25 (Series 1000).
Whether AD 2019-05-12 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.
