This AD applies to Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A. Model airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD, certificated in any category.
(1) Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 SU, -200 STD, and -200 LL airplanes, as identified in Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2020-05-01, effective May 26, 2020 (ANAC AD 2020-05-01).
(2) Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes, as identified in ANAC AD 2020-05-02, effective May 26, 2020 (ANAC AD 2020-05-02).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Yabor[atilde] Ind[uacute]stria Aeron[aacute]utica S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of installation of inverted poles of the horizontal stabilizer pitch trim switches on the control yokes, which causes opposite commands for the horizontal stabilizer. This AD requires installing supports for the horizontal stabilizer control yoke pitch trim switches and re-identifying the control yokes, as specified in two Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) ADs, which are incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, ANAC AD 2020-05-01 and ANAC AD 2020-05-02, as applicable.
(1) Where ANAC AD 2020-05-01 and ANAC AD 2020-05-02 refer to their effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Alternative method of compliance (AMOC)” section of ANAC AD 2020-05-01 and ANAC AD 2020-05-02 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where ANAC AD 2020-05-01 and ANAC AD 2020-05-02 prohibit installing certain parts, this AD prohibits their installation as of the applicable compliance time specified by paragraph (h)(3)(i) or (ii) of this AD.
(i) If the modification required by this AD was done before the effective date of this AD, installation is prohibited as of the effective date of this AD.
(ii) If the modification required by this AD is done after the effective date of this AD, installation is prohibited after accomplishment of the modification required by this AD.
Although the service information referenced in ANAC AD 2020-05-01 and ANAC AD 2020-05-02 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
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.
