Embraer S.A. Airplanes

The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and -145 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the electrical connectors of the electric fuel pumps to detect discrepancies, application of anti-corrosion spray, replacement of all fuel pumps with improved fuel pumps, repetitive inspections after all six fuel pumps are replaced, and applicable corrective actions. This new AD retains those requirements but revises the initial compliance time for an inspection for certain airplanes. This new AD is prompted by the need to correct a compliance time in the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent an ignition source in the fuel tank or adjacent dry bay, which could result in fire or explosion. DATES: Effective July 7, 2005. On May 19, 2005 (70 FR 19685, April 14, 2005), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-28-0013, dated April 25, 2001. On October 3, 2000 (65 FR 56233, September 18, 2000), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of EMBRAER Alert Service Bulletin S.B. 145-28-A013, dated August 16, 2000. We must receive any comments on this AD by August 22, 2005.
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.
