Applicability: All CL-600-2B19 aircraft.

Requirement: 1. Amend the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) by inserting Temporary Revision (TR) RJ/109-2 dated 9 August 2002. TR RJ/109-2 introduces the following:

An amendment to Emergency Procedures for aileron system jams. This change is applicable to all aircraft.

b. An aileron control check procedure to the Limitations Section. This change is applicable to aircraft that have accumulated 5,000 total flight hours.
2. Insert a copy of this Directive in each AFM.

3. Advise all flight crews on the changes introduced through the AFM TR.

Note: Transport Canada AD CF-2002-35R1 refers.

Compliance: Within 14 days after 28 August 2002, unless already accomplished.

This amend ment becomes effective on 28 August 2002.

Background: A significant number of reports of aileron control stiffness have been received following climb to altitude after takeoff from a contaminated runway or during heavy rain. In every case, the aileron stiffness disappeared upon descent to lower altitude and the aircraft landed safely. The aircraft that have encountered aileron control stiffness had accumulated in excess of 5,000 total flight hours when the problem appeared.
