FAA Proposes to Update Embraer Airworthiness Directive for EMB-545 and EMB-550 Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-05-13, which applied to all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes. The directive requires revising the Limitations and Normal Procedures section to address a potential risk of engine failure. The FAA aims to improve the safety of these aircraft by updating the maintenance procedures.
