Applicability*9

This AD applies to Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate previously held by Bombardier, Inc.; Canadair Limited) airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of this AD. (1) Model CL-215-1A10 (CL-215) airplanes, serial numbers 1001 through 1125 inclusive. (2) Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 1056 through 1125 inclusive. (3) Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 2001 through 2990 inclusive.

Compliance

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

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. Within 50 flight hours after March 14, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-03-08), inspect to determine the number of flight cycles accumulated by each of the applicable accumulators ( i.e., brake, aileron, elevator, and rudder accumulators) having part number 08-8423-010 (MS28700-3) installed on the airplane. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the number of flight cycles accumulated can be conclusively determined from that review.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap or end cap failure resulting in a loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the screw cap or end cap, which could result in impact damage to various components, potentially resulting in fuel spillage, uncommanded flap movement, or loss of aileron control.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2011-03-08, Amendment 39-16592 (76 FR 6536, February 7, 2011) (“AD 2011-03-08”).
