Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100) Series Airplanes

Resumo

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 series airplanes, that currently requires revising the Limitations Section of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flight crew with procedures to check the travel range of the aileron. That AD also requires inspection for damage of the shear pins of the aileron flutter damper and aileron hinge fittings, and various follow-on actions. This amendment adds a requirement for accomplishment of an installation that eliminates the need for the AFM revision. This amendment also adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. This amendment is prompted by reports of failure of shear pins in the aileron flutter damper. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent damage to the aileron hinge fittings due to failed shear pins, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
