Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.) Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary and that some life limits on some components used on the main landing gear (MLG) may not be properly controlled, due to interchanging those parts between airplane models with different operational loads during repair or overhaul. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations; reviewing maintenance records of the MLG assemblies to determine if any life-limited item has been replaced and reporting those findings; and re-identifying the MLG assemblies and certain components; as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits installing certain part numbers. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Type certificate previously held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; applies to airplanes as identified in Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2021-08-01, effective August 31, 2021.

Whether AD 2022-16059 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2022-16059 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.
