Airworthiness Directive 2022-21-08
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-545 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an error that was detected in the airplane takeoff configuration warning logic. The error prevents the system from sounding an aural alert "No Takeoff Trim" for the flightcrew. This AD requires the installation of a new software version of engine indication and crew alert system (EICAS), as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-21-08 applies to
Applicability as identified in Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2022-02-02, effective February 23, 2022 (ANAC AD 2022-02-02).
Whether AD 2022-21-08 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.
