BRAZILIAN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

AD No.: 2014-07-01 Effective Date: 10 Jul. 2014

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. 2014-07-01 – EMBRAER S.A. / 39-1384.

APPLICABILITY:

This Airworthiness Directive is applicable to Embraer S.A. model ERJ 190-100STD, 

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

200 LR, and ERJ 190-200 IGW airplanes; as identified in Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 of Embraer 

Service Bulletin 190-54-0015, original issue, dated July 3, 2014, and 190LIN-54-0006, original issue, 

dated July 3, 2014, as applicable.

CANCELLATION / REVISION:

This AD supersedes Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) 2014-06-02 –

EMBRAER S.A. / 39-1383.

REASON:

It has been found that repetitive tightening torque check required by EAD 2014-06-02 –

EMBRAER S.A. / 39-1383 may not be sufficient to prevent the lower inboard and outboard link fitting 

attaching parts, of the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) pylon, from getting loose which could lead to 

the failure of one of those fittings and the consequent separation of the engine from the wing.

Since this condition may occur in other aircrafts of the same type and affects flight 

safety, an immediate corrective action is required. Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance 

with this AD in the indicated time limit without prior notice.

REQUIRED ACTION:

To re-torque and to replace the lower inboard and outboard link fitting attaching parts on 

the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) engine pylon. This AD is considered an interim action. If final 

action is later identified, we might consider further rulemaking then.

COMPLIANCE:

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

actions have already been done.
