Airworthiness Directive 2021-24-21
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model EMB-500 and EMB-505 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the operational envelope does not contain airspeed limitations and procedures for operating the airplane at static air temperatures below -54 [deg]C. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate new and revised airspeed limitations and procedures. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2021-24-21 applies to
Applies only when Model PW617F-E or PW617F1-E engines are installed (EMB-500 airplanes) or Model PW535E engines are installed (EMB-505 airplanes).
Whether AD 2021-24-21 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:
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.
