What to do

Operators must perform a detailed inspection of the specified splice fasteners within 500 flight cycles from the effective date, checking for deformation and missing or loose fasteners. If issues are found, they must contact Embraer for approved repair solutions; otherwise, fasteners must be replaced following Embraer Service Bulletin 190E2-52-0001. Compliance must be recorded in maintenance logs.

Summary

Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2022-06-01 is a regulatory document issued by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) addressing the inspection, rework, and replacement of splice fasteners on the lower beam of Overwing Emergency Exit (OWE) doors for Embraer ERJ 190-300 and ERJ 190-400 aircraft models. The directive mandates detailed inspections for specific part numbers of fasteners to detect deformation or looseness that could compromise door integrity and aircraft pressurization.

What changed

This directive introduces mandatory inspections and corrective actions for the splice fasteners of the right and left hand OWE doors on affected Embraer aircraft due to a quality issue caused by improper installation tools. An errata was issued to correct a printing error in the compliance paragraph, clarifying the inspection requirements within 500 flight cycles.

Why it matters

This directive is critical for aviation professionals because the affected fasteners are principal structural elements whose failure could lead to door deformation, sudden loss of cabin pressurization, and emergency descent. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure compliance to maintain flight safety and airworthiness of the aircraft.
