BRAZILIAN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 

AD No.: 2006-11-01R4 Effective Date: 09 Apr. 2009 

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 de Homologação Aeronáutica (RBHA) 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. 2006-11-01R4 - EMBRAER - Amendment 39-1266.

APPLICABILITY: 

This Airworthiness Directive applies to Embraer model ERJ 190-100 STD, ERJ 190-100 

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

airplanes equipped with Hamilton Sundstrand Low Pressure Check Valve (LPCV) part numbers (P/N) 

1001447-3 and/or 1001447-4. 

CANCELLATION / REVISION: 

This AD cancels and supersedes the AD No. 2006-11-01R3 – Amdt 39-1252, dated 

25 Nov. 2008, and is being issued to change its reason, required action and its compliance as well. 

REASON: 

An occurrence of an uncommanded engine in-flight shutdown (IFSD) was reported on 

20 Sep. 2005, which was caused by an ERJ 170 defective LPCV P/N 1001447-3 logging 3900 Flight Hours 

(FH). The valve failed to close due to excessive wear. Despite there were no IFSD related to LPCV P/N 

1001447-4 failure, some ERJ 190 valves P/N 1001447-4 logging around 2472 FH were inspected and 

presented cracks due to low cycle fatigue. Since this failure mode also might lead to an engine in-flight 

shutdown and since both engines of the airplane have the same valves, there is a possibility of an occurrence 

of a dual engine IFSD due to LPCV failure. 

Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same type and affects flight safety, a 

corrective action is required. Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in the 

indicated time limit. 

REQUIRED ACTION: 

Discard and replacement of LPCV P/N 1001447-3; and periodic replacement of LPCV P/N 1001447-4. 

COMPLIANCE: 

Required as indicated below, unless already accomplished. 

(a) Before next flight after the effective date of this AD, replace all and any LPCV P/N1001447-3 having 

more than 1500 FH with a new or serviceable LPCV P/N 1001447-4 having less than 2000 FH since new 

or since overhaul. 

(b) Before any LPCV P/N 1001447-3 accumulates more than 1500 FH replace it with a new or serviceable 

LPCV P/N 1001447-4 having less than 2000 FH since new or since overhaul. 

(c) Within the next 200 FH after 25 Nov. 2008, the effective date of revision 3 of this AD, or before any 

LPCV P/N 1001447-4 installed on right engine reaches 2000 FH since new or since overhaul, whichever 

occurs later, replace the valve with a new or serviceable LPCV P/N 1001447-4 having less than 2000 FH 

since new or since overhaul. Repeat the replacement on the right engine at the intervals not to exceed 

2000 component flight hours since new or last overhaul, and 
CONTINUATION OF AD No.: 2006-11-01R4 - AMENDMENT 39-1266 PAGE No.: 2/2 

Form F-900-04E

(d) Within the next 200 FH after the effective date of this AD or before any LPCV P/N 1001447-4 installed 

on left engine reaches 2000 FH since new or last overhaul, whichever occurs later, replace the valve with 

a new or serviceable LPCV P/N 1001447-4 having less than 2000 FH since new or since overhaul. 

Repeat the replacement on the left engine at the intervals not to exceed 2000 component flight hours 

since new or last overhaul.

NOTE 1: After the effective date of this AD, the installation on the left and right engines of a LPCV 

1001447-4 valve is only allowed if it has less than 2000 FH since new or last overhaul prior 

to installation. 

NOTE 2: After the effective date of this AD, installation of any LPCV P/N 1001447-3 is prohibited. 

Any LPCV P/N 1001447-3 already installed may remain in service until reaching the flight 

hour limit defined by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this AD. 

NOTE 3: The above procedures are considered an interim solution until a final action is identified, at 

which time the ANAC may consider the issuance of further rulemaking. 

The detailed instructions and procedures to accomplish this AD are described in the 

Embraer Service Bulletins No. 190-36-0006 original issue or 190-36-0014 Rev. 01, as applicable, or their 

respective further revisions approved by the ANAC.

Record compliance with this AD in the applicable maintenance log book.
