This AD applies to EMBRAER Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 SU airplanes, and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, and -100 IGW airplanes; certificated in any category; as identified in EMBRAER Service Bulletins SB No. 170-52-0029 and SB No. 190-52-0011, both dated August 21, 2006.
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting airworthiness directive (AD) 2006-20-14 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of certain EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes by individual notices. This AD requires modification of certain flight deck door electronic equipment. This AD is prompted by a report indicating that this equipment is defective. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of this equipment, which could jeopardize flight safety.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
When an operator of an affected airplane sells or otherwise transfers the airplane to another operator, the new operator must be informed of this AD in a manner consistent with the procedures found in 49 CFR part 15.
Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, modify the flight deck door electronic equipment in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA. Doing all actions in the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable EMBRAER service bulletin identified in Table 1 of this AD is one approved method; except where the applicable service bulletin specifies to send the removed flight deck door electronic equipment to the manufacturer in paragraph 3.C., that action is not necessary.
