  • 2025-02400 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9283
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule, known as an airworthiness directive (AD), for all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-120 airplanes, due to concerns over potential cracking in certain parts of the aircraft's fuselage. This AD mandates regular inspections and any necessary repairs to ensure the planes remain safe. The rule allows for coordination with Brazilian authorities, as they initially identified the issue. It becomes effective on March 18, 2025, and aims to prevent any serious safety risks associated with these possible fuselage cracks.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule for certain Embraer airplanes to check them often because some parts might crack and cause problems. They want to fix these cracks to keep the airplanes safe for everyone flying in them.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule updating airworthiness directives for certain Embraer S.A. airplanes. This regulation replaces a previous directive and requires airlines to revise their maintenance or inspection programs to include new or stricter safety standards and structural changes necessary to prevent potential failures. The updated requirements aim to address issues like fatigue cracking, which can reduce the structural integrity of the aircraft, and possible safety hazards from latent system failures or ignition sources in fuel tanks. The new rule takes effect on March 17, 2025, affecting 662 airplanes in the U.S.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new rules for certain airplanes to make sure they're super safe by checking and fixing them more often. This helps keep them from breaking or catching fire by accident, starting in March 2025.

  • 2025-05031 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule

    The FAA has announced a proposed rule to implement a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes. The directive aims to address an issue where the main door lock sensor can jam, potentially leading to a false indication of the door being locked, which presents a safety risk of the door opening during flight. The proposal outlines that aircraft will need regular tests and maintenance on the door sensor, with adjustments or replacements as needed. The FAA invites public comments on this proposed rule by May 12, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain Embraer airplanes stay safe by checking and fixing a part that keeps a door locked, so it doesn't accidentally open while flying. They are asking people to share their thoughts about this plan by May 12, 2025.

  • 2025-01884 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (EMBRAER)) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8684

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive to replace a previous directive regarding Embraer S.A. airplanes, addressing issues with the aileron power control actuator (PCA) that could impact flight safety. This proposed rule aims to correct a previously identified error in task identification numbers and reiterates the need for routine inspections and corrections of PCA rod ends and fittings to prevent cracks or failures that could reduce aircraft controllability. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is planning to make sure certain Embraer airplanes are safe by fixing a mistake in a past rule and continuing to check and fix parts of the wing controls to prevent problems with flying. They're asking people to give their thoughts about this plan until mid-March 2025.

  • 2025-05331 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule

    The FAA has issued a new rule that affects all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-300 and ERJ 190-400 airplanes due to a failure in the MAU 3B, which can result in brake faults and loss of normal braking. To fix this, the flight manual must be updated to include new procedures. This directive will be effective from April 14, 2025, and is based on a similar measure by Brazil's aviation authority. The FAA seeks public comments by May 12, 2025, but has already taken action to address this safety issue.

    Simple Explanation

    The government found a problem in some Embraer airplanes where the brakes might not work right because a part inside failed. They're telling people who fly these planes to update their instruction book so they know what to do if this happens, and they're asking people to share their thoughts about these changes by a certain date.
