Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
Key claim: The FAA is proposing more restrictive maintenance and inspection requirements for certain Embraer ERJ 190-series airplanes to address potential safety issues.
Abstract
(Proposed Rule · Transportation Department, Federal Aviation Administration) The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-17-03, which applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, and -100 ECJ airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. AD 2024-17-03 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-17-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2024-17-03 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Why this matters
The proposal would tighten maintenance and inspection requirements for operators of affected Embraer ERJ 190-series airplanes, with the intended effect of addressing potential safety issues through continued-airworthiness oversight. It remains a proposed rule, so this finding does not establish new final compliance obligations.
