Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22834 · Cabin equipment/furnishings
Embraer S.A. Airplanes
This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model EMB-505 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2023-07-01, effective August 10, 2023, as corrected by ANAC Airworthiness Directive Errata, effective August 10, 2023 (ANAC AD 2023-07-01).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. (Embraer) Model EMB-505 airplanes. This AD was prompted by analysis of the left-hand (LH) refreshment center and LH forward cabinet that identified the need for installing structural reinforcements. This AD requires installing structural reinforcements as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, ANAC AD 2023-07-01.
(1) Where ANAC AD 2023-07-01 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Although the material referenced in ANAC AD 2023-07-01 allows the use of alternative or similar parts in place of the ones specified in the kits provided, this AD requires that alternative or similar parts be approved by the Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA; ANAC; or ANAC's authorized Designee. If approved by the ANAC Designee, the approval must include the Designee's authorized signature.
(3) Where the material referenced in ANAC AD 2023-07-01 specifies to “discard” certain parts, for this AD replace that text with “remove from service.”
(4) This AD does not adopt paragraphs (c) and (d) of ANAC AD 2023-07-01.
Although the material referenced in ANAC AD 2023-07-01 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.
