Models named: CL-215-1A10. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

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

Compliance

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

Required actions

Within 50 flight hours after the effective date of this AD: Using a borescope, do a detailed inspection for cracking of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) wing lower skin between wing station (WS) 45.00 and 51.00, in accordance with Part A of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 215-A558, Revision 3, dated June 3, 2016. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 50 flight hours until the initial eddy current inspection required by paragraph (h) of this AD has been accomplished. After accomplishment of the initial eddy current inspection required by paragraph (h) of this AD, the borescope inspection interval required by this paragraph may be extended to 300 flight hours.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of a fractured wing lower rear spar cap and reinforcing strap and a report of cracking of the wing lower skin and rear spar. We are issuing this AD to address cracked wing structure, which could result in failure of the wing.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2013-11-03, Amendment 39-17463 (78 FR 32353, May 30, 2013) (“AD 2013-11-03”).
