What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Which aircraft AD 2010-18-04 applies to
Serial numbers 17000002, 17000004-17000013, and 17000015-17000208 apply to the ERJ 170 models listed; serial numbers 19000002, 19000004, and 19000006-19000152 apply to the ERJ 190 models listed.
Whether AD 2010-18-04 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
