FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for EMBRAER Airplanes to Prevent Loss of Directional Control

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain EMBRAER Model airplanes, including the EMB-135 and EMB-145 series, to address reports of loss of directional control after an internal failure of the nose landing gear wheel steering system, which could lead to reduced airplane controllability.
