(a) COMMENTS DUE DATE We must receive comments by June 4, 2012. (b) AFFECTED ADS This AD supersedes AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011). (c) APPLICABILITY 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. (d) SUBJECT Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 29, Hydraulic Power; 32, Landing Gear. (e) REASON This AD was prompted by reports of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap failure. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap failure, which could result in the loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure, and consequent loss of control of the airplane. (f) COMPLIANCE You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. (g) RETAINED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL (AFM) REVISION, WITH REVISED SERVICE INFORMATION This paragraph restates the revision required by paragraph (g) of AD 2010 -22-02, Amendment 39-16481 (75 FR 64636, October 20, 2010), with revised service information. Within 30 days after November 4, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-22-02, Amendment 39-16481 (75 FR 64636, October 20, 2010)), revise the Limitations section, Normal Procedures section, and Abnormal Procedures section of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012, by incorporating Canadair Regional Jet Temporary Revision (TR) RJ/186-1, dated August 24, 2010, into the applicable section of Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012. Thereafter, except as provided by paragraph (p) of this AD, no alternative actions specified in Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/ 186-1, dated August 24, 2010, may be approved. NOTE 1 TO PARAGRAPH (G) OF THIS AD: The actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD may be done by inserting a copy of Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/186-1, dated August 24, 2010, into the applicable section of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012. When this TR has been included in the general revisions of this AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into this AFM, and this TR removed, provided that the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in Canadair Regional Jet TR RJ/186-1, dated August 24, 2010. (h) RETAINED DEACTIVATION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM NO. 3 ACCUMULATOR, WITH REVISED SERVICE INFORMATION This paragraph restates the deactivation required by paragraph (h) of AD 2010-22-02, Amendment 39-16481 (75 FR 64636, October 20, 2010), with revised service information.
