Is AD 2019-15-09 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2019-15-09 requires a repetitive inspection every 8000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2019-15-09 apply to?

AD 2019-15-09 applies to Bombardier, Inc. — models DHC-8-400, DHC-8-401, DHC-8-402, DHC-8. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a cracked outboard spoiler actuator mounting bracket. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the outboard spoiler actuator mounting brackets, replacement of any cracked bracket, and eventual replacement of all brackets with a re-designed part that would terminate the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 8000 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 2019-15-09 applies to

MakesBombardier, Inc.

ModelsDHC-8-400, DHC-8-401, DHC-8-402, DHC-8

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 4001–4547.

Part-conditional — 85714052-101, 85714052-102.

Applies only to airplanes having outboard spoiler actuator mounting brackets with these part numbers installed.

Whether AD 2019-15-09 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2019-15-09 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.
