Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13952 · Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-135BJ Series Airplanes
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-135BJ Series Airplanes
This AD applies to EMBRAER Model EMB-135BJ series airplanes, serial numbers 145462, 145495, 145505, 145528, 145625, 145637, and 145642; certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135BJ series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the electrical wiring for the "stick pusher" system. This AD is prompted by a report that the stick pushers are not being inhibited when the AP/PUSH/TRIM switches are activated, which can result in reduced controllability of the airplane if there is a system malfunction. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced controllability of the airplane if the stick pusher system malfunctions.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 400 flight hours or 180 calendar days after the effective date of this AD, whichever is first: Modify the wiring for the stick pusher system by accomplishing all of the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145LEG-27-0009, dated March 1, 2004.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
