Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2006-20-08. Comply with the one in force.
All Model EMB-145 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting airworthiness directive (AD) 99-05-04 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of all EMBRAER Model EMB-145 series airplanes by individual notices. This AD requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking or failure of the rod ends of the aileron power control actuator (PCA), and corrective actions, if necessary. This action is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct cracking or failure of the rod ends of the aileron PCA, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
