AD/CL-600/53 Fuel Migration and Centre of Gravity Limit 7/2002

Applicability: Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) aircraft, serial numbers 5301 through 5489.

Requirement: Amend all copies of the CL-604 Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM), PSP 604 1, as follows:

In Figure 02-03-01, Centre of Gravity Limits (MTOW 47,600lb) (page 02-03- 01):

Change the aft C of G limit to 34.5% for weights above the maximum landing weight of 38,000lb / 17,237kg.

b. In Figure 02-03-02, Centre of Gravity Limits (MTOW 48,200lb) (page 02-03- 02):

Change the aft C of G limit to 34.5% for weights above the maximum landing weight of 38,000lb / 17,237kg.

Insertion of Temporary Revision TR 604/13 into the AFM terminates the requirements of this Directive.

Note 1: Transport Canada AD CF-2001-07 refers.

Compliance: Within 2 calendar days after 15 May 2002, unless already accomplished.
