Required actions

(1) At the applicable times specified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i), (g)(1)(ii), (g)(1)(iii), and (g)(1)(iv) of this AD, do a detailed inspection for corrosion and damage of each side-brace fitting shaft of the MLG, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-57-052, Revision A, dated October 28, 2011. Repeat the inspections at the applicable times specified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i), (g)(1)(ii), (g)(1)(iii), and (g)(1)(iv) of this AD. (i) For airplanes that average greater than 900 flight hours per year and have side-brace shafts part number (P/N) 601R10237-1 installed in either the left- or right-hand MLG, or if the side-brace shaft part number cannot be identified without removal: Within 1,000 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, do the inspection. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1,000 flight hours until the replacement specified in paragraph (g)(2) or (h) of this AD is done. (ii) For airplanes that average 900 flight hours or less per year and have side-brace shafts P/N 601R10237-1 installed on either the left- or right-hand MLG, or if the side-brace shaft part number cannot be identified without removal: Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD, do the inspection. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 18 months until the replacement specified in paragraph (g)(2) or (h) of this AD is done. (iii) For airplanes that average greater than 900 flight hours per year and have side-brace shafts P/N 601R10237-3 installed on either the left- or right-hand MLG: Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD, do the inspection. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 36 months until the replacement specified in paragraph (g)(2) or (h) of this AD is done. (iv) For airplanes that average 900 flight hours or less per year and have side-brace shafts P/N 601R10237-3 installed on either the left- or right-hand MLG: Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, do the inspection. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 60 months until the replacement specified in paragraph (g)(2) or (h) of this AD is done. (2) If any corrosion or damage is found during any inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD: Before further flight, replace the side-brace fitting shaft with a new shaft P/N 601R10247-3, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-57-052, Revision A, dated October 28, 2011. Doing this replacement terminates the inspection requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of failure of the side-brace fitting shaft of the main landing gear (MLG) due to corrosion. We are issuing this AD to prevent fractures of the side-brace fitting shafts of the MLG, and possible collapse of the MLG.

Affected ADs

This AD supersedes AD 2004-22-23, Amendment 39-13851 (69 FR 64856, November 9, 2004).
