Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17978 · Flight controls
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S. A. (EMBRAER) Airplanes
This AD applies to Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S. A. (EMBRAER) Models EMB-110P1 and EMB-110P2 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S. A. (EMBRAER) Models EMB-110P1 and EMB- 110P2 airplanes. 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 corrosion and cracking on the rudder trim tab actuator terminal. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(2) of this AD:
(1) Within the next 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after October 27, 2014 (the effective date of this AD) or 15 days after October 27, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed 60 months, do a detailed inspection to detect discrepancies and corrosion on the rudder trim tab actuator components. Follow the Accomplishment Instructions of Embraer Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 110-27-A095, original issue, dated August 21, 2014.
(2) If any discrepancy is found during any inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, repair or replace the discrepancy, as necessary, following Accomplishment Instructions of Embraer Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 110-27-A095, original issue, dated August 21, 2014.
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.
