Airworthiness Directive E7-9401
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145LR, -145XR, and -145MP Airplanes; and Model EMB-135BJ and -135LR Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain EMBRAER Model EMB-145LR, -145XR, and -145MP airplanes; and Model EMB-135BJ and -135LR airplanes. This AD requires replacing the electrical bonding clamps inside the fuel tanks and adjacent areas. This AD results from a report of the failure of a fitting clamp of an electrical bonding cable for the fuel tubing. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of bonding protection in the interior of the fuel tanks or adjacent areas, and a consequent potential source of ignition in a fuel tank and possible fire or explosion.
Which aircraft AD E7-9401 applies to
certain
Whether AD E7-9401 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.
