Models named: EMB-500. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model EMB-500 airplanes, serial numbers 50000218 through 50000333, 50000336, 50000337, 50000339, and 50000341, certificated in any category.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, inspect all of the barrel self-locking nuts at the horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer joint following the ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS in Embraer S.A. Phenom Alert Service Bulletin No. 500-55-A004, Revision 02, dated July 25, 2014.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as cracking of the barrel nuts at the horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer attachment joint. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the barrel nuts at the horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer attachment joint that could result in reduced structural integrity of the affected part and consequent detachment of the horizontal stabilizer from the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
