What to do

Operators of Embraer EMB-135BJ aircraft must revise their maintenance or inspection programs within three months of the effective date, incorporating the specified airworthiness limitations from the Legacy 600/650 Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-1483 Revision 15 or later ANAC-approved revisions. Any alternative inspection procedures or intervals require ANAC approval as an alternative method of compliance. Compliance must be recorded in the maintenance logbook, and operators should refer to the errata for corrected procedural references.
