Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11172 · Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145 Series Airplanes
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2003-15-02. Comply with the one in force.
All Model EMB-145 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all EMBRAER Model EMB-145 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive replacement of the bleed-air check valve and associated gaskets on the bleed low-pressure line of the engine, with new parts. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent failure of the bleed-air check valve on the bleed low-pressure line of the engine. Such failure could result in engine compressor stall and consequent flameout of the affected engine.
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.
