Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15784 · Fuselage
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP Airplanes
This AD applies to EMBRAER Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes, certificated in any category, which have incorporated Embraer Service Bulletin 145-00-0032.
Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), Structural Inspection Requirements Section, and Corrosion Prevention and Control Program Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate the tasks specified in Appendix 2, “Airworthiness Limitation Requirements,” Section 4 “Structural Inspection Requirements,” and Section 5 “Corrosion Prevention and Control Program,” identified in Embraer Temporary Revision (TR) 10-5, dated May 23, 2007, of the Embraer EMB 145 Maintenance Review Board (MRB) Report MRB-145/1150. The initial compliance times for the tasks start from the initial delivery date of the applicable airplane at the applicable time specified in the tasks or within 200 flight cycles after revising the ALS, whichever occurs later. Repeat the applicable inspection thereafter at the interval specified in Embraer TR 10-5 of the Embraer EMB 145 MRB Report MRB-145/1150; except as provided by paragraphs (f)(2) and (g)(1) of this AD.
Note 2: The actions required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD may be done by inserting a copy of Embraer TR 10-5, dated May 23, 2007, into the sections. When this TR has been included in general revisions of the Embraer EMB 145 MRB Report MRB-145/1150, the general revisions may be inserted in the MRB report.
(2) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, no alternative inspections or inspection intervals may be used, except as provided by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD.
Note 3: 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.
