airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent cracking of the pilot valve

harness tubes, which could allow fuel to

enter the conduit and leak overboard, and

result in increased risk of a fuel tank

explosion and fire, accomplish the following:

(a) Within 30 calendar days or 200 hours

time-in-service after the effective date of this

AD, whichever occurs later, perform a onetime visual inspection of the pilot valve

harness tubes (conduit) for bulges and cracks,

in accordance with the Accomplishment

Instructions of EMBRAER Service Bulletin

145–28–0005, dated May 23, 1997.

(1) If no discrepancy is found in the

harness tube, prior to further flight, clean the

tube and apply sealant at the tube end

opening in accordance with the service

bulletin.

(2) If any crack or bulge is found in the

harness tube, prior to further flight, replace

the tube with a new or serviceable tube, clean

the tube, and apply sealant at the tube end

opening in accordance with the service

bulletin.

(b) Within 4,000 hours time-in-service after

the effective date of this AD, replace the

existing pilot valve harness tubes and vent

valve tubes with new tubes, in accordance

with EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145–28–

0006, dated October 22, 1997.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager, Atlanta

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Small Airplane Directorate. Operators shall

submit their requests through an appropriate

FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who

may add comments and then send it to the

Manager, Atlanta ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Atlanta ACO.

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
