AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

The following airworthiness directive (AD) may be applicable to an aircraft which our records indicate is registered in your name. ADs are issued pursuant to Canadian 

Aviation Regulation (CAR) 521 Division X. Pursuant to CAR 605.84 and the further details of CAR Standard 625, Appendix H, the continuing airworthiness of a Canadian registered aircraft is contingent upon compliance with all applicable ADs. Failure to comply with the requirements of an AD may invalidate the flight authorization of the aircraft. Alternative means of compliance shall be applied for in accordance with CAR 605.84 and the above-referenced Standard. 

This AD has been issued by the Continuing Airworthiness Division (AARDG), National Aircraft Certification Branch, Transport Canada, Ottawa, telephone 613 952-4357.

Pursuant to CAR 202.51 the registered owner of a Canadian aircraft shall, within seven days, notify the Minister in writing of any change of his or her name or address. 

To request a change of address, contact the Civil Aviation Communications Centre (AARC) at Place de Ville, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N8, or 1-800-305-2059, or www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/communications/centre/ address.asp

1/1 No.

CF-2010-10

Issue Date 

26 March 2010 

Number: CF-2010-10 

Subject: Hydraulic Systems Number 2 and 3: Damage caused by Main Landing Gear Tire 

Failure 

Effective: 16 April 2010 

Applicability: Bombardier Inc. Models BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11, Serial Numbers 9002 through 

9401. 

Compliance: Within 30 months after the effective date of this directive, unless already accomplished. 

Background: There have been two in-service reports of main landing gear (MLG) tire failure on 

landing, during which a flailing tire tread caused damage to No. 2 and No. 3 hydraulic 

system lines in the wing auxiliary spar area on the left side of the aircraft. This damage 

resulted in the loss of supply pressure to the inboard and outboard brakes, as the only 

remaining braking source available was the No. 3 hydraulic system accumulator. The 

degradation of the brake system performance could adversely affect the aircraft during 

landing. 

This directive mandates the relocation of the No. 2 and No. 3 hydraulic system lines in 

the wing auxiliary spar area on the left side of the aircraft, together with a modification to 

the left wing rib and debris shield, in order to prevent damage to the hydraulic lines in the 

event of a MLG tire failure. The debris shield on the right side is also modified for part 

commonality. 

Corrective 

Actions: 

Relocate the No. 2 and No. 3 hydraulic system lines in the wing auxiliary spar area on the 

left side of the aircraft, together with a modification to the left wing rib and left and right 

debris shields, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions in Bombardier 

Service Bulletin (SB) 700-29-021, Revision 1 or 700-1A11-29-004 Revision 1, whichever 

is applicable, both dated 25 January 2010, or later revisions approved by the Chief, 

Continuing Airworthiness, Transport Canada. 

Note: Accomplishment in accordance with the original issue of Bombardier 

SB 700-29-021 or 700-1A11-29-004 whichever is applicable, both dated 

3 April 2009, also meets the intent of this directive. 

Authorization: For Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities
