Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16375 · Ice and rain protection
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-500 Airplanes
This AD applies to the following Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-500 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category:
(i) Group 1 Airplanes (retains the actions and applicability from AD 2009-23-11): Airplanes for which service bulletin (SB) 500-27-0003 has not been accomplished or that do not have an equivalent modification that was incorporated in the production line; and
(ii) Group 2 Airplanes: Airplanes for which SB 500-27-0003 has been accomplished or have an equivalent modification that was incorporated in the production line.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that will supersede an existing AD. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
