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 IGW. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to the airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category. (1) Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE., and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, and -200 STD airplanes; as identified in Embraer Service Bulletin 170-53-0051, Revision 03, dated August 21, 2013. (2) Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes; as identified in Embraer Service Bulletin 190-53-0019, Revision 03, dated August 21, 2013.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Before the accumulation of 25,954 total flight cycles, or within 3,600 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later: Do a detailed inspection of the web aft face of the forward pressure bulkhead for any cracking and discrepancy ( i.e., corrosion, dents, gauge marks, fastener anomalies), in accordance with Task 53-10-001-0005 specified in Embraer 170/175 MRB—Temporary Revision 12-3, dated September 19, 2016, to the Embraer 170/175 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1621; or Task 53-10-001-0005 specified in Embraer 190/195 MRB—Temporary Revision 10-4, dated September 19, 2016, to the Embraer 190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928; as applicable. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 6,489 flight cycles. If any cracking or discrepancy is found during any inspection required by this paragraph, before further flight, repair the forward pressure bulkhead using a method approved by the Manager, International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC); or ANAC's authorized Designee. If approved by the ANAC Designee, the approval must include the Designee's authorized signature.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder indicating that the forward pressure bulkhead is subject to widespread fatigue damage. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the forward pressure bulkhead, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
