Models named: BD-700-1A10, BD-700-1A11. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Unless already done, do the actions specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as applicable, at the time specified. (1) For airplanes identified in paragraph (f) of this AD: Within 45 days or 100 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, complete a disassembly with an inspection for damage, applicable corrective actions, and lubrication of the PCU attachment joint components in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-1A11-27-025, Revision 01, dated November 24, 2008; or Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-27-067, Revision 01, dated November 24, 2008; as applicable.

FAA AD Differences Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: Paragraph A.3. of the MCAI requires a one-time inspection; however, since we have changed the compliance time for the terminating action in paragraph A.4. of the MCAI (refer to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD), paragraph (f)(3) of this AD requires repeating the inspections until the terminating action is performed. Other FAA AD Provisions (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight Standards District Office. (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service.
