MANUFACTURER: Empresa SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2010-16-01
SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing
airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an airworthiness authority of another country to identify
and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The earlier
MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective
September 27, 2007, describes the unsafe condition as: Fuel system
reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR-88 (Regulamento
Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special Federal Aviation
Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new maintenance tasks
in the Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)
and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL), necessary to preclude
ignition sources in the fuel system. * * * The new MCAI, Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03, effective August 20, 2009,
describes the unsafe condition as: An airplane fuel tank systems
review required by Special Federal Aviation Regulation Number 88
(SFAR 88) and 'RBHA Especial Numero 88' (RBHA E 88) has shown that
additional maintenance and inspection instructions are necessary to
maintain the design features required to preclude the existence or
development of an ignition source within the fuel tanks of the
airplane. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the
unsafe condition on these products.
