This document corrects information in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Bombardier Model DHC- 8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, -314, and -315 series airplanes. That AD currently requires revising the Bombardier maintenance program to incorporate repetitive inspections to detect fatigue cracking in certain structures; and corrective actions, if necessary. This document corrects certain airplane models specified in Table 1 of the final rule. This correction is necessary to ensure that operators are notified of the correct airplane models, as specified in Canadian airworthiness directive CF-2000-07, dated March 3, 2000, and de Havilland Temporary Revision TR AWL 2-15, dated September 3, 1999.

A correction restates part of an AD that was published incorrectly. It is not an additional requirement and it does not change the AD number or its effective date.

Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Bombardier Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, - 301, -311, -314, and -315 series airplanes, that requires revising the Bombardier maintenance program to incorporate repetitive inspections to detect fatigue cracking in certain structures; and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information issued by a foreign airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure that fatigue cracking of certain principal structural elements is detected and corrected; such fatigue cracking could adversely affect the structural integrity of these airplanes.
