What to do

Operators of affected Embraer ERJ 190 models must revise their maintenance or inspection programs within three months of the AD effective date to include the specified airworthiness limitations. No alternative actions or intervals are permitted unless approved by ANAC or published in subsequent revisions. Requests for alternative methods of compliance must be submitted to ANAC's Aeronautical Product Certification Branch with appropriate justification.

Summary

Brazilian Airworthiness Directive AD No. 2019-05-02 issued by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) applies to Embraer S.A. ERJ 190 series airplanes, including models ERJ 190-100 STD, LR, IGW, ECJ, SR, and ERJ 190-200 STD, LR, and IGW with specified serial numbers. This directive mandates updates to maintenance and inspection programs to incorporate revised airworthiness limitations to ensure structural integrity. The AD includes an errata correcting omitted compliance time details.

What changed

This AD cancels and supersedes AD No. 2016-04-01 and introduces revised airworthiness limitations from the Maintenance Review Board Report MRB 1928 Revision 12 and the ERJ 190-100 ECJ Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-2928 Revision 8. It requires operators to update maintenance programs with new certification maintenance requirements, airworthiness limitation inspections, fuel system limitations, and life-limited items. The errata corrects printing errors related to compliance times in the original document.

Why it matters

This directive is critical for aviation professionals to detect and correct fatigue cracking in principal structural elements, thereby maintaining aircraft structural integrity and safety. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid operating non-compliant aircraft, ensuring adherence to Brazilian aviation regulations. The updated inspection thresholds and intervals affect maintenance planning and resource allocation.
