What to do
Operators must complete the new or more restrictive CMR limitations within the specified intervals in Section 1-CMR of the Maintenance Requirements Manual Part 2 ALI Revision 9 and the listed Temporary Revisions. For aircraft with previously completed CCMR tasks, the new limitations must be accomplished within the interval from the last task completion.

Summary
Maintenance Requirements Manual Part 2 - Airworthiness Limitation Items - Amendment is a Canadian Airworthiness Directive (AD CF-2026-38) affecting De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited model DHC-8-401 and DHC-8-402 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated and more restrictive Candidate Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) limitations in the Maintenance Requirements Manual Part 2 Airworthiness Limitation Items section. The directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring updated maintenance tasks and intervals.
What changed
This amendment supersedes AD CF-2022-59 and moves the CCMR limitations from Section 7-00 to Section 1-CMR in the Maintenance Requirements Manual Part 2 ALI. It introduces new limitations and revises existing intervals to be more restrictive, requiring updated inspections, replacements, or repairs of affected parts. The directive also incorporates specific Temporary Revisions to the manual that must be followed.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent undetected failures that could lead to hazardous or catastrophic conditions. Compliance with the updated CMR limitations ensures the aircraft remain airworthy and meet regulatory requirements. It impacts maintenance planning, scheduling, and record-keeping for affected DHC-8-400 series aircraft.
