Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15117 · Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) ERJ 170 Airplanes
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) ERJ 170 Airplanes
This AD applies to EMBRAER Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 SU airplanes, as identified in EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-26-0002, dated November 11, 2005; certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an airworthiness authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as an obstruction at the cargo compartment fire extinguisher system drier metering unit (DMU) inlet, affecting the system effectiveness and, consequently, making the fire extinguishing capability at those compartments inadequate should a fire erupt. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 700 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, install a debris strainer at the DMU inlet, in accordance with the detailed instructions and procedures described in EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-26-0002, dated November 11, 2005.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No Differences.
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.
