Summary

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive for its ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes, following mandatory continuing airworthiness information from another country regarding cracks found in structural components during full-scale fatigue testing.
