Applicability*9

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 7003 and subsequent, equipped with horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) part numbers (P/N) 601R92305-1 (vendor P/N 8396-2), 601R92305-3 (vendor P/N 8396-3), or 601R92305-5 (vendor P/N 8396-4).

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations section and Normal Procedures section of the AFM to include the information in Supplement 23, “Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Check,” of Chapter 7 “Supplements,” of Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Airplane Flight Manual CSP A-012, Volume 3, Revision 61, dated April 2, 2013.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) spur gear bolts inside the gearbox were found loose, broken, or backed out due to incorrect bending of the anti-rotation tab washer and the improper application of Loctite glue during installation. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HSTA and subsequent loss of control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
