BRAZILIAN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 

AD No.: 2015-02-02 Effective Date: 06 Mar. 2015 

The following Brazilian Airworthiness Directive (AD), issued by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil 

(ANAC) in accordance with provisions of Chapter IV, Title III of Código Brasileiro de Aeronáutica- Law No. 

7,565 dated 19 December 1986 - and Regulamento Brasileiro da Aviação Civil (RBAC) 39, applies to all 

aircraft registered in the Registro Aeronáutico Brasileiro. No person may operate an aircraft to which this 

AD applies, unless it has previously complied with the requirements established herein.

AD No. 2015-02-02–EMBRAER S.A./ 39-1391. 

APPLICABILITY: 

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) applies to Embraer S.A. model ERJ 190-100 STD, 

ERJ 190-100 LR, ERJ 190-100 IGW, ERJ 190-100 SR, ERJ 190-200 STD, ERJ 190-200 LR and ERJ 

190-200 IGW airplanes; all serial numbers. 

CANCELLATION / REVISION:

This AD cancels AD 2015-02-01, Amendment 39-1390, effective in February 20, 2015, 

and supersedes AD 2014-02-01, Amendment 39-1380, effective in February 24, 2014. 

REASON:

This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in some engine low-stage bleed check valves 

having part number (PN) 1001447-6. Further analysis has determined that if a new (zero hour) low-stage 

bleed check valve P/N 1001447-6 is installed in an airplane already equipped with the Air Management 

System (AMS) controller processor boards containing the AMS Controller Operational Program version 

Black Label 13, or a later version, premature cracking on the petals of the low-stage bleed check valve is 

not expected to occur. We are issuing this AD to prevent the possibility of an in-flight shutdown of the 

engine due to low-stage bleed check valve failure. 

REQUIRED ACTION: 

To replace the Low-stage Bleed Check Valve and the Controller Operational Program of 

the Air Management System (AMS). 

COMPLIANCE:

Do the actions required by this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(a) Retained replacement of Left-Hand (LH) Low-Stage Bleed Check Valve with new 

service information 

This paragraph restates the requirement of paragraph (a) of AD 2014-02-01, Amendment 

39-1380. For airplanes equipped with Hamilton Sundstrand Low-stage Bleed Check Valve having P/N 

1001447-6: Within airplane 200 flight hours after February 24, 2014 (the effective date of AD 

2014-02-01), or before the Low-stage Bleed Check Valve accumulates 6000 total flight hours since new, 

whichever occurs later, replace the Low-stage Bleed Check Valve and associated seals of the LH engine's 

bleed system with a new check valve and new associated seals, in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Embraer Service Bulletin 190-36-0023, revision 01, dated September 03, 2013; or
