ALERT SERVICE BULLETIN
1. PLANNING INFORMATION
A. Compliance
NOTES: 1. There are three PARTS to this Alert Service Bulletin. PART A is
for an initial visual inspection followed by repeat visual inspections.
PART B is to do a nondestructive inspection (NDI), replace cracked
vane brackets and remove all gaps. PART C is to replace all 12 vane
brackets and remove all gaps.
2. You can do PART B or PART C of this Alert Service Bulletin and
avoid PART A. If you do PART B or PART C of this Alert Service
Bulletin, PART A is no longer applicable.
3. For aircraft that were out of structural warranty on 1st July 2000,
operators who decide to replace all 12 vane brackets can do PART C
instead of PART B.
4. Operators with aircraft that have less than 1200 landings do not have
to do PART A until the aircraft completes 1200 landings. When 1200
landings have been completed, it is recommended that PART A be
incorporated within 100 landings.
However, if the aircraft meets the requirement in PART B or PART C
(600 landings from this Alert Service Bulletin release date, Basic
Issue) before it meets the requirement of 1200 landings in PART A, it
is recommended to incorporate PART B or PART C, as applicable.
5. For aircraft within structural warranty as of 1st July 2000, Bombardier
Aerospace recommends operators complete PART C of this Alert
Service Bulletin. However, you can do PART B instead of PART C.
If you do PART B you cannot reset the TLMC threshold for the vane
brackets.
(1) For aircraft with 3000 landings and above, the special check in PART A is
recommended in less than 50 landings from this Alert Service Bulletin release
date (Basic Issue).
(2) For aircraft between 1200 and 3000 landings, the special check in PART A
is recommended in less than 100 landings from this Alert Service Bulletin
release date (Basic Issue).
(3) The special check in PART A must be done every 100 landings from
the initial check, until the special check/modification in PART B or the
modification in PART C of this Alert Service Bulletin is incorporated.
(4) For aircraft with 2000 landings and above, and out of structural warranty as
of 1st July 2000, it is recommended that the special check/modification in
PART B is done in less than 400 landings from the Alert Service Bulletin

MODEL CL-600-2A12 & CL-600-2B16
(5) For aircraft with less than 2000 landings and out of structural warranty as
st
of 1 July 2000, it is recommended that the special check/modification in
PART B is done in less than 600 landings from the Alert Service Bulletin
(6) For aircraft with 2000 landings and above, and were in structural warranty on
st
1 July 2000, it is recommended that the modification in PART C is done in
less than 400 landings from the Alert Service Bulletin release date (Basic
Issue).
If you make a decision to do PART B instead of PART C, you must use the
same compliance as PART C.
(7) For aircraft with less than 2000 landings and were in structural warranty on
1st July 2000, it is recommended that the modification in PART C is done in
less than 600 landings from the Alert Service Bulletin release date (Basic
Issue).
If you make a decision to do PART B instead of PART C, you must use the
same compliance as PART C.
B. Approval
This special check/modification is approved by the Bombardier Aerospace, Design
Approval Designee(s) for Transport Canada Aviation (TCA).
This special check/modification is also FAA approved under the TCA/FAA bilateral
agreement.

2. The instructions in this Alert Service Bulletin are only applicable to
the systems and parts installed at the time of delivery of the aircraft
or as changed by Bombardier Aerospace or Canadair Service
Bulletin(s).
Before you do this bulletin, examine all STC, STA or equivalent
action changes to make sure this bulletin can be completed.

MODEL CL-600-2A12 & CL-600-2B16
D. Reason
Several occurrences of gaps were found between the vane brackets Part No.
600-14306-1 and -2 and the adjacent lower skin and between the vane brackets
and the vane actuator beam. During a detailed investigation it was found that an
incorrect production process for the installation of the vane bracket resulted in an
uneven contact with the adjacent skin and with the vane actuator beam. This
condition can cause premature failure of the attachment vane brackets Part No.
600-14306-1 and -2. Instructions are given in this Alert Service Bulletin to perform
a visual inspection and a nondestructive inspection of the vane brackets, replace
any cracked vane brackets in PART B, replace all 12 vane brackets in PART C and
remove any gaps at the vane brackets.
NOTE: There is a Time Limits/Maintenance Check (TLMC), Task 57-53-00-190/-
191, for the inspection for cracks on these vane brackets. This TLMC
task has a threshold and a repeat interval for all aircraft. The corrective
action will determine what TLMC interval in the table that follows is to be
used for the aircraft after this Alert Service Bulletin is completed.
When PART C of this Alert Service Bulletin is completed, the threshold
will be reset to 7,000 landings plus aircraft landings, at the time this
Service Bulletin is completed.
For operators who do PART B, they must consider the results of the
special check and the TLMC intervals in the table that follows when a
decision is made about the applicable corrective action.

12 vane brackets for cracks and inspect for gaps.
Four man-hours are necessary to replace a vane bracket, if necessary.
Ten man-hours are necessary to remove and install an inboard flap as a
result of cracked vane bracket(s) replacement.
Six man-hours are necessary to inspect all minimum edge distances.
Seven man-hours may be necessary to replace and adjust an actuator beam
due to low MED, once the flap is removed from the aircraft.
Two man-hours are necessary to remove a gap between a vane bracket and
the adjacent skin and between the vane bracket and the actuator beam, if
necessary.
