Airworthiness Directive 2020-19-13
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-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that fast and easy access to the portable oxygen bottle may be prevented by the portable oxygen bottle installation's upper bracket latch assembly catching on the pressure gauge tube or on the pressure gauge bezel of the portable oxygen bottle. This AD requires a check to identify the manufacturer and part number of the portable oxygen bottle installation, and, if necessary, modification of the portable oxygen bottle installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2020-19-13 applies to
Applies only to airplanes equipped with Scott (Avox/Zodiac) 5500 or 5600 series 11 cubic-foot portable oxygen bottle(s) with upper bracket P/N 36758-02, 36758-12, or H3-2091-1 installed at the neck of the bottle(s). Serial ranges by model: CL-600-1A11 (600) S/N 1004-1085; CL-600-2A12 (601) S/N 3001-3066; CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) S/N 5001-5194, 5301-5665, 5701-5988, and 6050-6119.
Whether AD 2020-19-13 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.
