ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
15:16 Jun 30, 2010
Jkt 220001
Two cases of a crack on a ‘‘dry’’ ADG [air
driven generator] (Hamilton Sundstrand part
number in the 761339 series), in the aft area
of the strut and generator housing assembly,
have been reported on CL–600–2B19 aircraft.
The same part number is also installed on
CL–600–2B16 (CL–604) aircraft. Investigation
determined that the crack was in an area of
the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a
manufacturing anomaly in a specific batch of
ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the
ADG during deployment could possibly
result in damage to the aircraft structure. If
deployment were activated by a dual engine
shutdown, ADG structural failure would also
result in loss of hydraulics for the flight
controls.

The unsafe condition is possible loss of
control of the airplane. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to correct the
unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on January 4, 2010 (75 FR 91).
That NPRM proposed to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
Two cases of a crack on a ‘‘dry’’ ADG [air
driven generator] (Hamilton Sundstrand part
number in the 761339 series), in the aft area
of the strut and generator housing assembly,
have been reported on CL–600–2B19 aircraft.
The same part number is also installed on
CL–600–2B16 (CL–604) aircraft. Investigation
determined that the crack was in an area of
the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a
manufacturing anomaly in a specific batch of
ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the
ADG during deployment could possibly
result in damage to the aircraft structure. If
deployment were activated by a dual engine
shutdown, ADG structural failure would also
result in loss of hydraulics for the flight
controls.
This directive gives instructions to check
the part number of the installed ADG and, for
ADGs with a part number in the 761339
series, the serial numbers of the ADG and the
strut and generator housing assembly are also
to be checked. If these serial numbers are
within specified ranges * * *, initial and

38012
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 126 / Thursday, July 1, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
subsequent repeat fluorescent penetrant
inspections of the ADG strut are required.
This directive also gives instructions to
perform a fluorescent penetrant inspection
after each unscheduled in-flight ADG
deployment and a [general] visual inspection
after each unscheduled on-ground ADG
deployment. Instructions regarding reidentification (where applicable) and
replacement parts are also included.
The unsafe condition is possible loss of
control of the airplane. You may obtain
further information by examining the
MCAI in the AD docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
considered the comments received.
Request to Change Table 1
Bombardier Aerospace (Bombardier)
asks that we change Table 1 of the
NPRM to refer to Bombardier Alert
Service Bulletin A604–24–017, Revision
01, dated January 15, 2007, instead of
Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin
A604–24–017, dated May 6, 2005.
Bombardier states that Revision 01 is
referenced throughout the NPRM.
We do not agree with the commenter.
The service information identified in
Table 1 of this AD is to give credit for
inspections done before the effective
date of the AD in accordance with
previously issued service information.
Revision 01 of Bombardier Alert Service
Bulletin A604–24–017 is the
appropriate source of service
information for accomplishing the
actions required after the effective date
of this AD. We have made no change to
the AD in this regard.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Request to Change Paragraph (f)(4)
Bombardier asks that the inspection
type specified in paragraph (f)(4) of the
NPRM be changed from a general visual
inspection to a fluorescent penetrant
inspection. Bombardier states that
Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin
A604–24–017, Revision 01, dated
January 15, 2007, specifies a fluorescent
penetrant inspection.
We agree with the commenter. Part III
of the Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA) AD, which equates to paragraph
(f)(4) of this AD, requires merely
‘‘inspecting’’ the ADG strut; therefore, to
further clarify the type of inspection, we
inadvertently described a general visual
inspection. However, Bombardier Alert
Service Bulletin A604–24–017, Revision
01, dated January 15, 2007, specifies a
fluorescent penetrant inspection of the
ADG strut for cracks, which we
subsequently determined is the correct
inspection type. Therefore, we have
changed paragraph (f)(4) of this AD to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:16 Jun 30, 2010
Jkt 220001
require a fluorescent penetrant
inspection of the ADG strut for cracks.
Explanation of Additional Changes
Made to This AD
We have changed this AD to identify
the name of the manufacturer as
published in the most recent type
certificate data sheet for the affected
airplane models.
Paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) of this AD
was changed to clarify that the subparagraphs identified within that
paragraph as (f)(6), (f)(7), and (f)(8),
should have been identified as
paragraphs (f)(5), (f)(6), and (f)(7).
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
with the changes described previously.
We determined that these changes will
not increase the economic burden on
any operator or increase the scope of the
AD.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow our FAA
policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Explanation of Change to Costs of
Compliance
Since issuance of the NPRM, we have
increased the labor rate used in the
Costs of Compliance from $80 per workhour to $85 per work-hour. The Costs of
Compliance information, below, reflects
this increase in the specified hourly
labor rate.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
378 products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 2 workhours per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $0 per
product. Where the service information
lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have
assumed that there will be no charge for
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
these parts. As we do not control
warranty coverage for affected parties,
some parties may incur costs higher
than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD
to the U.S. operators to be $64,260, or
$170 per product.
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII:
Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701:
General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this AD will not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this AD:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
3. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as
follows:
■
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new AD:
■
2010–14–02 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment
39–16347. Docket No. FAA–2009–1227;
Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–119–AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD)
becomes effective August 5, 2010.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc.
Model CL–600–2B16 (CL–604 Variant)
airplanes; certificated in any category; serial
numbers 5408 through 5665 inclusive.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 24: Electrical Power.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states:
Two cases of a crack on a ‘‘dry’’ ADG [air
driven generator] (Hamilton Sundstrand part
number in the 761339 series), in the aft area
of the strut and generator housing assembly,
have been reported on CL–600–2B19 aircraft.
The same part number is also installed on
CL–600–2B16 (CL–604) aircraft. Investigation
determined that the crack was in an area of
the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a
manufacturing anomaly in a specific batch of
ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the
ADG during deployment could possibly
result in damage to the aircraft structure. If
deployment were activated by a dual engine
shutdown, ADG structural failure would also
result in loss of hydraulics for the flight
controls.
This directive gives instructions to check
the part number of the installed ADG and, for
ADGs with a part number in the 761339
series, the serial numbers of the ADG and the
strut and generator housing assembly are also
to be checked. If these serial numbers are
within specified ranges * * *, initial and
subsequent repeat fluorescent penetrant
inspections of the ADG strut are required.
This directive also gives instructions to
perform a fluorescent penetrant inspection
after each unscheduled in-flight ADG
deployment and a [general] visual inspection
after each unscheduled on-ground ADG
deployment. Instructions regarding reidentification (where applicable) and
replacement parts are also included.
The unsafe condition is possible loss of
control of the airplane.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Unless already done, do the following
actions.
(1) Within 400 flight hours after the
effective date of this AD, inspect to
determine the part number of the installed
ADG and accomplish the actions required by
paragraph (f)(1)(i) or (f)(1)(ii) of this AD, as
applicable. A review of airplane maintenance
records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the part number of the ADG can
be conclusively determined from that review.
(i) If the part number of the ADG is 604–
90800–23 (Hamilton Sundstrand part number
1711405), the strut wall thickness is within
specification and no further action is
required by this paragraph.
(ii) If the part number of the ADG is 604–
90800–1, –17 or –19 (Hamilton Sundstrand
part number in the 761339 series), inspect to
determine the ADG serial number and do the
applicable action required by paragraph
(f)(1)(ii)(A), (f)(1)(ii)(B), or (f)(1)(ii)(C) of this
AD. A review of airplane maintenance
records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the serial number of the ADG
can be conclusively determined from that
review.
(A) If the serial number of the ADG is 2000
or higher, the strut wall thickness is within
specification and only re-identification is
required. Do the actions required by
paragraph (f)(8) of this AD.
(B) If the serial number of the ADG is in
the range 0101 through 1999 inclusive, and
the symbol 24–3 is marked in the serial
number block of the identification plate, the
strut wall thickness is within specification
and only re-identification is required. Do the
actions required by paragraph (f)(8) of this
AD.
(C) If the serial number of the ADG is in
the range 0101 through 1999 inclusive, and
the symbol 24–3 is not marked in the serial
number block of the identification plate,
inspect to determine the serial number of the
strut and generator housing assembly and do
the applicable action required by paragraph
(f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) or (f)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of this AD, as
applicable.
Note 1: Guidance on serial number location
can be found in Figure 1, Sheet 1, of
Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin
ERPS10AG–24–3, Revision 3, dated March
12, 2009.
(1) If the serial number of the strut and
generator housing assembly is in the range
0001 through 2503 inclusive, the fluorescent
penetrant inspection specified in paragraph
(f)(2) of this AD is required. For airplanes on
which an unscheduled in-flight or on-ground
ADG deployment has occurred after
accomplishing the actions required by this
paragraph, do the actions required by
paragraph (f)(5), (f)(6), or (f)(7) of this AD, as
applicable.
(2) If the serial number of the strut and
generator housing assembly is 2504 or higher,
the strut wall thickness is within
specification and only re-identification is
required. Do the actions required by
paragraph (f)(8) of this AD.
(2) For airplanes having a strut and
generator housing assembly identified in
paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) of this AD, except
for airplanes with serial numbers 5611
through 5665 on which Bombardier
conducted the initial fluorescent penetrant
inspection prior to aircraft delivery and on
which the ADG has not been replaced since
aircraft delivery: Within 400 flight hours after
the effective date of this AD, do a fluorescent
penetrant inspection of the ADG strut, and
replace the ADG, as applicable, in

2.D. of the Accomplishment Instructions in
Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A604–24–
017, Revision 01, dated January 15, 2007. If
the ADG is replaced by an ADG with part
number 604–90800–23 (Hamilton
Sundstrand part number 1711405), no further
action is required by this paragraph.
Accomplishing the requirements in
paragraph (f)(4) of this AD is required for
airplanes on which each ADG has been
inspected in accordance with this paragraph.
(3) Accomplishment of the fluorescent
penetrant inspection before the effective date
of this AD in accordance with the applicable

specification.
(9) As of the effective date of this AD, no
person may install an ADG having part
number 604–90800–1, –17, or –19 (Hamilton
Sundstrand part number in the 761339
series) on any airplane if the serial number
of the ADG is in the range 0101 through 1999
strut and the serial number of the generator
housing assembly is in the range 0001
through 2503.
Note 4: The Bombardier CL–604 Illustrated
Parts Catalog specifies that, for an ADG with
a Hamilton Sundstrand part number in the
761339 series, future procurement is to be an
ADG with Hamilton Sundstrand part number
1711405.
(10) Although Bombardier Alert Service
Bulletin A604–24–017, Revision 01, dated
January 15, 2007; and Service Bulletin 604–
24–019, dated October 1, 2007; specify
submitting certain information to the
manufacturer, this AD does not require that
submission.
FAA AD Differences
Note 5: This AD differs from the MCAI
and/or service information as follows:

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Two cases of a crack on a ``dry'' ADG [air driven generator]
(Hamilton Sundstrand part number in the 761339 series), in the aft
area of the strut and generator housing assembly, have been reported
on CL-600-2B19 aircraft. The same part number is also installed on
CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) aircraft. Investigation determined that the
crack was in an area of the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a manufacturing anomaly in a
specific batch of ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the ADG
during deployment could possibly result in damage to the aircraft
structure. If deployment were activated by a dual engine shutdown,
ADG structural failure would also result in loss of hydraulics for
the flight controls.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is possible loss of control of the airplane. We
are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective August 5, 2010.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 5,
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2010 (75
FR 91). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
Two cases of a crack on a ``dry'' ADG [air driven generator]
(Hamilton Sundstrand part number in the 761339 series), in the aft
area of the strut and generator housing assembly, have been reported
on CL-600-2B19 aircraft. The same part number is also installed on
CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) aircraft. Investigation determined that the
crack was in an area of the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a manufacturing anomaly in a
specific batch of ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the ADG
during deployment could possibly result in damage to the aircraft
structure. If deployment were activated by a dual engine shutdown,
ADG structural failure would also result in loss of hydraulics for
the flight controls.
This directive gives instructions to check the part number of
the installed ADG and, for ADGs with a part number in the 761339
series, the serial numbers of the ADG and the strut and generator
housing assembly are also to be checked. If these serial numbers are
within specified ranges * * *, initial and
[[Page 38012]]
subsequent repeat fluorescent penetrant inspections of the ADG strut
are required.
This directive also gives instructions to perform a fluorescent
penetrant inspection after each unscheduled in-flight ADG deployment
and a [general] visual inspection after each unscheduled on-ground
ADG deployment. Instructions regarding re-identification (where
applicable) and replacement parts are also included.
The unsafe condition is possible loss of control of the airplane. You
may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.
Request to Change Table 1
Bombardier Aerospace (Bombardier) asks that we change Table 1 of
the NPRM to refer to Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A604-24-017,
Revision 01, dated January 15, 2007, instead of Bombardier Alert
Service Bulletin A604-24-017, dated May 6, 2005. Bombardier states that
Revision 01 is referenced throughout the NPRM.
We do not agree with the commenter. The service information
identified in Table 1 of this AD is to give credit for inspections done
before the effective date of the AD in accordance with previously
issued service information. Revision 01 of Bombardier Alert Service
Bulletin A604-24-017 is the appropriate source of service information
for accomplishing the actions required after the effective date of this
AD. We have made no change to the AD in this regard.
Request to Change Paragraph (f)(4)
Bombardier asks that the inspection type specified in paragraph
(f)(4) of the NPRM be changed from a general visual inspection to a
fluorescent penetrant inspection. Bombardier states that Bombardier
Alert Service Bulletin A604-24-017, Revision 01, dated January 15,
2007, specifies a fluorescent penetrant inspection.
We agree with the commenter. Part III of the Transport Canada Civil
Aviation (TCCA) AD, which equates to paragraph (f)(4) of this AD,
requires merely ``inspecting'' the ADG strut; therefore, to further
clarify the type of inspection, we inadvertently described a general
visual inspection. However, Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A604-24-
017, Revision 01, dated January 15, 2007, specifies a fluorescent
penetrant inspection of the ADG strut for cracks, which we subsequently
determined is the correct inspection type. Therefore, we have changed
paragraph (f)(4) of this AD to require a fluorescent penetrant
inspection of the ADG strut for cracks.
Explanation of Additional Changes Made to This AD
We have changed this AD to identify the name of the manufacturer as
published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the
affected airplane models.
Paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) of this AD was changed to clarify that
the sub-paragraphs identified within that paragraph as (f)(6), (f)(7),
and (f)(8), should have been identified as paragraphs (f)(5), (f)(6),
and (f)(7).
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance
Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used
in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour.
The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in
the specified hourly labor rate.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 378 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per product.
Where the service information lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $64,260, or $170 per product.
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for

the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
2010-14-02 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-16347. Docket No. FAA-
2009-1227; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-119-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective August
5, 2010.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-
604 Variant) airplanes; certificated in any category; serial numbers
5408 through 5665 inclusive.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24:
Electrical Power.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
Two cases of a crack on a ``dry'' ADG [air driven generator]
(Hamilton Sundstrand part number in the 761339 series), in the aft
area of the strut and generator housing assembly, have been reported
on CL-600-2B19 aircraft. The same part number is also installed on
CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) aircraft. Investigation determined that the
crack was in an area of the strut where the wall thickness of the
casting was below specification, due to a manufacturing anomaly in a
specific batch of ADGs. Structural failure and departure of the ADG
during deployment could possibly result in damage to the aircraft
structure. If deployment were activated by a dual engine shutdown,
ADG structural failure would also result in loss of hydraulics for
the flight controls.
This directive gives instructions to check the part number of
the installed ADG and, for ADGs with a part number in the 761339
series, the serial numbers of the ADG and the strut and generator
housing assembly are also to be checked. If these serial numbers are
within specified ranges * * *, initial and subsequent repeat
fluorescent penetrant inspections of the ADG strut are required.
This directive also gives instructions to perform a fluorescent
penetrant inspection after each unscheduled in-flight ADG deployment
and a [general] visual inspection after each unscheduled on-ground
ADG deployment. Instructions regarding re-identification (where
applicable) and replacement parts are also included.
The unsafe condition is possible loss of control of the airplane.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 400 flight hours after the effective date of this AD,
inspect to determine the part number of the installed ADG and
accomplish the actions required by paragraph (f)(1)(i) or (f)(1)(ii)
of this AD, as applicable. A review of airplane maintenance records
is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number of the
ADG can be conclusively determined from that review.
(i) If the part number of the ADG is 604-90800-23 (Hamilton
Sundstrand part number 1711405), the strut wall thickness is within
specification and no further action is required by this paragraph.
(ii) If the part number of the ADG is 604-90800-1, -17 or -19
(Hamilton Sundstrand part number in the 761339 series), inspect to
determine the ADG serial number and do the applicable action
required by paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(A), (f)(1)(ii)(B), or (f)(1)(ii)(C)
of this AD. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable
in lieu of this inspection if the serial number of the ADG can be
conclusively determined from that review.
(A) If the serial number of the ADG is 2000 or higher, the strut
wall thickness is within specification and only re-identification is
required. Do the actions required by paragraph (f)(8) of this AD.
(B) If the serial number of the ADG is in the range 0101 through
1999 inclusive, and the symbol 24-3 is marked in the serial number
block of the identification plate, the strut wall thickness is
within specification and only re-identification is required. Do the
actions required by paragraph (f)(8) of this AD.
(C) If the serial number of the ADG is in the range 0101 through
1999 inclusive, and the symbol 24-3 is not marked in the serial
number block of the identification plate, inspect to determine the
serial number of the strut and generator housing assembly and do the
applicable action required by paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) or
(f)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of this AD, as applicable.
Note 1: Guidance on serial number location can be found in
Figure 1, Sheet 1, of Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin ERPS10AG-
24-3, Revision 3, dated March 12, 2009.
(1) If the serial number of the strut and generator housing
assembly is in the range 0001 through 2503 inclusive, the
fluorescent penetrant inspection specified in paragraph (f)(2) of
this AD is required. For airplanes on which an unscheduled in-flight
or on-ground ADG deployment has occurred after accomplishing the
actions required by this paragraph, do the actions required by
paragraph (f)(5), (f)(6), or (f)(7) of this AD, as applicable.
(2) If the serial number of the strut and generator housing
assembly is 2504 or higher, the strut wall thickness is within
specification and only re-identification is required. Do the actions
required by paragraph (f)(8) of this AD.
(2) For airplanes having a strut and generator housing assembly
identified in paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(C)(1) of this AD, except for
airplanes with serial numbers 5611 through 5665 on which Bombardier
conducted the initial fluorescent penetrant inspection prior to
aircraft delivery and on which the ADG has not been replaced since
aircraft delivery: Within 400 flight hours after the effective date
of this AD, do a fluorescent penetrant inspection of the ADG strut,
and replace the ADG, as applicable, in accordance with paragraphs
2.A., 2.C., and 2.D. of the Accomplishment Instructions in
Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A604-24-017, Revision 01, dated
January 15, 2007. If the ADG is replaced by an ADG with part number
604-90800-23 (Hamilton Sundstrand part number 1711405), no further
action is required by this paragraph. Accomplishing the requirements
in paragraph (f)(4) of this AD is required for airplanes on which
each ADG has been inspected in accordance with this paragraph.
(3) Accomplishment of the fluorescent penetrant inspection
before the effective date of this AD in accordance with the
applicable service information identified in Table 1 of this AD is
acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (f)(2)
of this AD.

Note 5: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: Although the MCAI or service information tells you to
submit information to the manufacturer, paragraph (f)(10) of this AD
specifies that such submittal is not required.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New
York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Program Manager,
Continued Operational Safety, FAA, New York ACO, 1600 Stewart
Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, New York 11590; telephone (516) 228-
7300; fax (516) 794-5531. Before using any approved AMOC on any
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal
maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI),
as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight
Standards District Office. The AMOC approval letter must
specifically reference this AD.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
