EASA AD BR-2023-12-02
Time Limits / Maintenance Checks - Airworthiness Limitation Section / Maintenance Program - Revision
Summary
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive AD No. 2023-12-02 issued by ANAC mandates revisions to the maintenance programs of 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. The directive updates airworthiness limitations related to structural inspections, certification maintenance requirements, fuel system limitations, and life-limited items to ensure continued airworthiness and safety.
What Changed
This AD cancels and supersedes AD 2019-05-02 and introduces updated airworthiness limitations from the Embraer 190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report MRB 1928 Revision 17 and the ERJ 190-100 ECJ Maintenance Planning Guide MPG-2928 Revision 12. It revises inspection tasks, thresholds, and intervals to address fatigue cracking and structural integrity concerns, requiring operators to update their maintenance or inspection programs accordingly.
Why It Matters
Compliance with these updated airworthiness limitations is critical for timely detection and prevention of structural fatigue cracks, which can compromise aircraft safety. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure maintenance programs reflect these changes to meet regulatory requirements and maintain aircraft airworthiness. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions and regulatory penalties.
What To Do
Affected operators must revise their maintenance or inspection programs within three months of the AD's effective date to incorporate the updated certification maintenance requirements, airworthiness limitation inspections, fuel system limitation items, and life-limited items as specified in the referenced Embraer documents. Alternative inspections or intervals require ANAC approval as an alternative method of compliance. Record compliance in the maintenance logbook.
