           Background: The Brazilian Departamento de Aviação Civil (DAC) received reports of loss of control events when flying in icing conditions, indicating that flight crew can misjudge both the severity of ice accretion and the need to take immediate action to prevent excessive loss of airspeed, especially when using the autopilot. The original issue of this Directive imposed operational limitations in the AFM, together with installation of placards in the cockpit, and removal of the deice boots "light- heavy" switch.

 AD/EMB-120/27 Amdt 3 (Continued)

           Amendment 1 required the replacement of the placards introduced by the original issue of the Directive, together with installation and modification of a low speed aural/visual alarm system. The amendment also required incorporation of the AFM amendment included in United States Federal Aviation Administration AD 2001-20- 17 Amdt 39-12465 as a DAC approved AFM amendment was not available at that time.

           Amendment 2 was issued following advice from Embraer, correcting the AFM amendment introduced by Amenment1 by reducing the minimum airspeed, with flaps 15% and gear up, from 160 to 140 KIAS.

           Amendment 3 was issued following Australian approval of AFM-120/813.

           The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 12 July 2001. Amendment 1 of the Airworthiness Directive became effective on 10 April 2002.
           Amendment 2 of the Airworthiness Directive became effective on 12 April 2002.
