AD 2009-24-20 Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 & 701) Airplanes and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) Airplanes

This AD applies to all Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701) airplanes and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, certificated in any category.

Unless already done, within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations—Operating Limitations section of the Bombardier (Canadair) Regional Jet Series 900 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), CSP C-012; and the Bombardier (Canadair) Regional Jet Series 700 and 701 AFM, CSP B-012; to include the information in the Bombardier (Canadair) temporary revisions identified in Table 1 and Table 2 of this AD, as applicable. For Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, include the information in any one of the TRs in Table 1 of this AD; for Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701) airplanes, include the information in any one of the TRs in Table 2 of this AD. These TRs introduce procedures for cold weather operations to ensure that the wing leading edges and upper wing surfaces are free from frost, snow, slush, and ice. Operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in the applicable TRs. Note 1: This may be done by inserting a copy of the applicable TR into the applicable AFM. When the TR has been included in general revision of the applicable AFM, the general revision may be inserted into the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to the applicable AFM.
