Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-25- 07, which applied to certain Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550 and EMB-545 airplanes. AD 2020-25-07 required repetitive inspections of the flight deck side windows for any cracking or delamination, corrective action if necessary, and eventual replacement of the windows. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-25-07, additional part numbers were added to the installation prohibition list. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-25-07, expands the list of affected parts, and prohibits the installation of affected parts, 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.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 750 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

MakesEmbraer
ModelsEMB-550, EMB-545

Applies to airplanes as identified in Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC) AD 2020-04-01R02, effective November 2, 2023.

Whether AD 2024-16-16 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 2024-16-16 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.
