What to do
Operators must revise their maintenance or inspection programs within three months of the directive's effective date to include the new Airworthiness Limitation Inspections from MRB 1621 Revision 17. Structural modifications specified in Embraer service bulletins must be completed before reaching the defined Structural Modification Points, measured in flight cycles or hours. Alternative compliance methods require prior approval from ANAC's Continuing Airworthiness Technical Branch.
Summary
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2022-02-01 is an official regulatory document issued by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) that applies to Embraer S.A. ERJ 170 series airplanes, including models ERJ 170-100 and ERJ 170-200 variants. This directive mandates revisions to maintenance programs and requires structural modifications to address widespread fatigue damage risks in certain structural elements of these aircraft.
What changed
This directive cancels and supersedes AD No. 2019-05-01 and introduces revised airworthiness limitations based on the latest Maintenance Review Board Report MRB 1621 Revision 17. It requires operators to incorporate new inspections and structural reinforcements before reaching defined Structural Modification Points to prevent structural integrity issues caused by fatigue damage.
Why it matters
Compliance with this directive is critical for maintaining the structural safety and airworthiness of affected Embraer ERJ 170 aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update inspection programs and perform required modifications to avoid potential structural failures, ensuring continued safe operation and regulatory compliance under Brazilian aviation law.
