Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of Bombardier CL‑600‑2B16 aircraft, serial numbers 5301–5499, to carry out the corrective actions set out in Transport Canada AD CF‑2002‑37 (Requirement) and to meet the timing specified here (Compliance; effective 30 October 2002). CASA issued it because gaps at the flap vane brackets can cause cracking and possible in‑flight loss of a flap vane, which would reduce aircraft controllability (Background). Operators must follow the Bombardier service bulletin referenced (Note).

AD/CL-600/60 Flap Vane Brackets 13/2002 DM

Applicability: Model CL-600-2B16 aircraft, serial numbers 5301 through 5499.

Requirement: Action in accordance with the requirements of Transport Canada AD CF-2002-37.

Note: Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin ASB A604-27-007 Revision 1 refers.

Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of 30 October 2002.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 30 October 2002.

Background: The aircraft assembly procedures used when installing the flap actuator beam vane brackets, referred to as the flap vane brackets, may have resulted in gaps between flap vane brackets and the adjacent lower skin and between the flap vane brackets and the vane actuator beam. This condition could result in the premature development of cracks in the flap vane brackets, and if not corrected, lead to in- flight loss of the flap vane and subsequent reduced controllability of the aircraft.
