What to do
Operators must verify within six months whether affected NLG or MLG components are installed on their CL-600-2B19 aircraft. If found, they must either update the structural life limits in the maintenance records within 12 months or replace the components within 12 months or 2000 flight cycles, whichever occurs first. Installation of affected components as replacements is prohibited without completing these corrective actions.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive CF-2020-09 is issued by Transport Canada and applies to Bombardier Inc. model CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes, serial numbers 7003 through 8999. It addresses issues with nose landing gear (NLG) and main landing gear (MLG) components repaired by Bombardier Repair Engineering Orders that were missing specific airworthiness limitation structural deviation inspection requirements. The directive mandates verification and corrective actions to ensure compliance with revised life limits for these components.
What changed
This new Airworthiness Directive introduces mandatory verification of aircraft and technical records to identify affected NLG and MLG components repaired under specific Bombardier Repair Engineering Orders. It requires incorporation of revised life limits into maintenance documents or replacement of components depending on accumulated flight cycles. Additionally, it prohibits installation of affected components without completing the corrective actions.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because failure to comply could result in landing gear collapse, causing potential aircraft damage and occupant injury. Operators and maintenance organizations must ensure that repaired landing gear components meet updated life limits to maintain airworthiness and regulatory compliance. It also impacts maintenance planning and parts management for affected Bombardier CL-600-2B19 aircraft.
