Airworthiness Directive 2019-19-08
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440), CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of power control unit (PCU) rod end fractures due to pitting corrosion. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new maintenance tasks. This AD also requires detailed inspections of the elevator PCU rod ends and applicable corrective actions. This AD also prohibits using certain aircraft maintenance manual tasks. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2019-19-08 applies to
Serial ranges correspond respectively to: CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) serial numbers 7003 and subsequent; CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) serial numbers 10002-10999; CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) serial numbers 15001-15990; CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) serial numbers 19001-19990.
Whether AD 2019-19-08 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.
