Airworthiness Directive 98-2826
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica, S.A. (EMBRAER), Model EMB-120 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-120 series airplanes, that requires deactivation of certain circuit breakers, and a revision to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide operational procedures to prevent loss of electrical power following an engine flameout. This AD also requires modifications of the electrical system, which terminate the requirement for the AFM revision and allow reactivation of the circuit breakers. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continued airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent generator overload conditions that could result in loss of electrical power and failure of certain flight and landing control systems, and to prevent power interruption to the attitude heading reference system (AHRS) that could result in the display of erroneous heading information.
Which aircraft AD 98-2826 applies to
certain
Whether AD 98-2826 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.
