Airworthiness 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 all MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440), CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 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 multiple reports of elevator autopilot control cable failure. This AD requires replacing the elevator autopilot control cables. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Type certificate previously held by Bombardier, Inc. Model designations correspond to marketing series: CL-600-2B19 = Regional Jet Series 100 & 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; CL-600-2E25 = Regional Jet Series 1000.

Whether AD 2026-01033 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2026-01033 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.
