Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and -3R), and CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100) Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11, CL-600-2A12, CL-600-2B16, and CL-600-2B19 series airplanes, that currently requires an inspection to detect cracking in the rudder control quadrant; replacement of any cracked quadrant with a new assembly; and retorquing of the castellated nut, as necessary. This amendment requires a follow- on inspection of certain rudder control quadrants to detect cracks that start at the inside root radius of the spigot; modification of any cracked quadrant; and eventual modification of certain quadrants. This amendment also adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. This amendment is prompted by the development of a modification, which, when installed, will positively address the identified unsafe condition. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of rudder control due to stress corrosion of the rudder control quadrant.

Whether AD 95-21593 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 95-21593 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.
