Airworthiness Directive 2025-04720
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier Inc.) Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 and 440), CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702), CL-600- 2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), 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 the determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-Band). This AD requires installing a new radio frequency (RF) bandpass filter on the coaxial line between the radio altimeter and the receive antenna in the aft equipment compartment. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2025-04720 applies to
Type Certificate previously held by Bombardier Inc. Applies only to airplanes equipped with a radio altimeter that are not determined to be a radio altimeter tolerant airplane per paragraph (g) of the AD. Serial ranges by model: CL-600-2B19 (RJ100/440) S/N 7002-8113; CL-600-2C10 (RJ700/701/702) S/N 10002-10999; CL-600-2C11 (RJ550) S/N 10002-10999; CL-600-2D15 (RJ705) S/N 15001-15990; CL-600-2D24 (RJ900) S/N 15001-15990; CL-600-2E25 (RJ1000) S/N 19013-19990.
Whether AD 2025-04720 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.
