Applicability*9

This AD applies to the Bombardier, Inc., airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this AD, certificated in any category, equipped with horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) part number 8489-7 or 8489-7R. (1) Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes. (2) Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes. (3) Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. (4) Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Within 600 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, inspect to determine whether the serial number (S/N) of the installed HSTA is listed in paragraph 1.A, “Effectivity,” of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-27-072, Revision A, dated October 26, 2016. If the S/N of the installed HSTA is not listed in paragraph 1.A, “Effectivity,” of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-27-072, Revision A, dated October 26, 2016, no further action is required by this AD, except as required by paragraph (j) of this AD. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number of the HSTA can be conclusively determined from that review.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report indicating that a number of rubber bull gear (RBG) wheels installed in the HSTA were manufactured using an incorrect material specification. We are issuing this AD to prevent premature wear-out of the teeth of the RBG wheels, which could cause difficulties in maneuvering the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
