Airworthiness Directives; Allison Engine Company Model AE 3007A Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Allison Engine Company Model AE 3007A turbofan engines. This action requires reprogramming the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) to the latest, improved software version. This amendment is prompted by reports of inflight engine shutdowns due to inadequate fault accommodation logic. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent inflight engine shutdowns due to inadequate fault accommodation logic.

Installed on but not limited to Embraer EMB-145 series aircraft; applies to each identified engine regardless of modification, alteration, or repair status.

Whether AD 98-12-12 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 98-12-12 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.
