We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of the cockpit door falling off the hinges when it is being opened or closed. This AD requires replacing the striker and quick- release pin of the passive lock of the cockpit door, and replacing the upper and lower hinges of the cockpit door. We are issuing this AD to prevent the cockpit door from falling off the hinges, which could cause injury to airplane occupants.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 1,500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, do the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD.
(1) Replace the striker and quick-release pin of the passive lock of the cockpit door, in accordance with Part I of the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin specified in paragraph (g)(1)(i), (g)(1)(ii), or (g)(1)(iii) of this AD.
(i) EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-52-0055, Revision 01, dated August 1, 2011 (for Model ERJ 170 airplanes).
(ii) EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-52-0038, Revision 01, dated August 1, 2011 (for Model ERJ 190 airplanes except for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes).
(iii) EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190LIN-52-0020, dated August 1, 2011 (for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes).
