The original terminals were failing, creating a fire safety risk.\n\n**Who must comply:** Anyone operating these specific Embraer aircraft models. The directive applies to all aircraft in the serial number range, regardless of which airline or individual owns them.\n\n**What must be done:** \n- Install improved \"L'Hotellier\" fire detector cable terminals following the manufacturer's Service Bulletin (SB 110-26-002 Rev. 02) or an equivalent Brazilian aviation directive (CTA AD 82-02-01)\n- **Important:** Even aircraft that already complied with the original version of this directive must do additional work to meet this updated version (Amendment 1)\n\n**When:** The modification must be completed within **250 flight hours** after 30 September 1982.\n\n**Why it matters:** Faulty fire detector terminals could fail to detect engine fires, potentially leading to catastrophic in-flight fires going undetected. This directive prevents that safety risk by mandating stronger replacement parts."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-emb-110-7-amdt-1-fire-detector-cable-terminals-modification/documents"}}
