EASA SIB 2010-36
Embraer EMB-505 aeroplanes - Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS)
Summary
EASA Safety Information Bulletin SIB No. 2010-36 is an advisory document concerning Embraer EMB-505 aeroplanes. It addresses an airworthiness concern related to the Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) information in the original airplane flight manual, which does not fully meet certification requirements. The bulletin aligns with a similar FAA advisory and aims to inform European operators and owners of the recommended updates.
What Changed
This bulletin highlights that the original airplane flight manual for Embraer EMB-505 aeroplanes contains insufficient TAWS information to meet certification standards. It recommends the use of Embraer AFM-2666, Revision 1, which provides updated and compliant TAWS information. The document does not introduce mandatory changes but serves as a safety recommendation.
Why It Matters
The bulletin is important for aviation professionals because it ensures that operators and maintenance teams are aware of the TAWS information deficiency and the availability of a revised flight manual. Using the updated AFM improves situational awareness and compliance with certification requirements, enhancing flight safety. It also helps compliance teams maintain regulatory alignment with both EASA and FAA guidance.
What To Do
Owners and operators of Embraer EMB-505 aeroplanes should obtain and use Embraer AFM-2666, Revision 1, which can be accessed via the type certificate holder's website or service organization. There is no mandatory compliance deadline, but it is recommended to update the flight manual information promptly. For further assistance, stakeholders can contact EASA or Embraer directly.
