Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this rule does: This is a mandatory safety instruction (called an Airworthiness Directive) requiring the removal of an alternate fuel tank vent system from specific Embraer Bandeirante aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of specific Embraer EMB-110P1 and EMB-110P2 aeroplanes with the following serial numbers:

110146, 110157, 110184, 110186, 110190, 110193, 110194, 110195, 110196, 110197
110208, 110209, 110210, 110212, 110213, 1101227, 110232 and 110245

What must be done: The alternate fuel tank venting system must be removed from the outer wing area. Operators must follow the technical instructions in Embraer Service Bulletin No. 110-28-015 (the manufacturer's official repair guide) to perform the work.

Why it matters: The vent system posed a lightning strike risk. Removing it improves lightning protection and prevents potential fuel ignition in the wing tanks.

When to comply: Within 300 hours of flight time (time in service) after 30 September 1980.
