Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Embraer S.A. Models EMB-500 and EMB-505 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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 incorrect installation of passenger seat attachment fittings. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 50000322–50000322, 50000324–50000328, 50000330–50000344, 50000346–50000350, 50000353–50000353, 50500004–50500215, 50500217–50500245, 50500247–50500255, 50500257–50500259, 50500261–50500263, 50500265–50500265, 50500267–50500267.

Applies to the listed EMB-500/EMB-505 serial numbers that had passenger seats installed at manufacture per Embraer SB 500-25-0016 (EMB-500) or SB 505-25-0020 (EMB-505), both dated December 8, 2015; since seats are line replaceable units, any passenger seat replaced during routine maintenance is not affected by this AD.

Whether AD 2016-22-02 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2016-22-02 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
