Airworthiness Directive for EMBRAER EMB-145 Series Airplanes to Address Anti-Icing System Issues

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an airworthiness directive (AD) for Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-145 series airplanes to address potential problems with the anti-icing system, which may cause increased flight idle thrust and increase the risk of landing overrun. The directive requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual to provide flightcrew procedures for adjusting landing distances and prohibiting certain approaches when the anti-icing system is active.
