Models named: ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, -200 STD, ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE., and -100 SU airplanes; Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, and -200 STD airplanes; Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes; certificated in any category; all serial numbers.

Compliance

You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2010-07-04, Amendment 39-16248 (75 FR 14333, March 25, 2010). For airplanes equipped with AMS controller cards having part number (P/N) 1001050-1-YYY or 1001050-2-YYY containing software version Black Label 08 or lower installed: Within 10 days after April 9, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-07-04), revise the Limitations section of the AFM to include the following statement. This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM. Doing the actions required by paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph. Dispatch with the message `RECIRC SMK DET FAIL' displayed on the ground is prohibited unless troubleshooting action confirms the message has not been triggered due to a failure of an AMS controller card. Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (g) of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed from the AFM.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of the possible loss of automatic activation of the engine inlet ice protection system. We are issuing this AD to prevent the possibility of a right-hand (RH) engine compressor stall after the auxiliary power unit (APU) becomes the active bleed source for the left side, which may result in an engine failure; and to prevent the intermittent communication failure between the air management system (AMS) controller cards and both secondary power distribution assemblies (SPDAs), which could lead to the loss of automatic activation of the engine inlet ice protection system when flying in icing conditions, which could result in ice accretion in the engine inlet and subsequent dual engine failure.

Affected ADs

This AD supersedes AD 2010-07-04, Amendment 39-16248 (75 FR 14333, March 25, 2010); and AD 2010-18-01, Amendment 39-16414 (75 FR 52238, August 25, 2010).
