FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for EMBRAER Aircraft to Prevent Fire Risk

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) to address a fire risk on EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and EMB-145 aircraft, following a report of smoke in the cockpit. The proposed AD would require a one-time inspection and modification to prevent overheated relay components from igniting windowsill drain hoses.
