FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for EMBRAER Aircraft

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) to address reports of rudder vibration due to wear on EMBRAER Model aircraft, including the EMB-135BJ, -135ER, -135KE, -135KL, -135LR, -145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP. The proposed AD would require replacing locking tab washers and installing springs on the rudder II, eliminating the need for repetitive inspections.
