FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for EMBRAER Airplanes to Prevent Electrical Issues

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain EMBRAER airplanes to address reports of smoke on the flight deck caused by poor electrical contact due to loosening of attaching hardware on windshield temperature controllers. The proposed AD aims to prevent overheating of power cable terminals, which could lead to smoke and fire on the flight deck.
