Airworthiness Directive 2026-04465
recurringAirworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-23- 02, which applied to 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. AD 2023-23-02 required, for certain airplanes, revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations; and accomplishing certain aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) tasks and corrective actions following short-term or long-term storage. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-23-02, additional power control unit (PCU) disconnect findings show that the task intervals must be reduced to allow earlier detection of potential single PCU disconnect cases. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2023-23-02 and requires repetitive operational checks of the rudder PCUs and repetitive operational tests of the elevator PCUs. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2026-04465 applies to
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 & 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 2026-04465 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.
