Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

Owners/operators of specified Embraer EMB-110 (Bandeirante) aeroplanes must modify elevator trim-tab actuation—installing dual control rods with bearings and increasing elevator mass‑balance—per Embraer Service Bulletin SB 110‑27‑068 Rev 1, within 250 hours TIS after 30 Nov 1985. The work (and costs) is the operator’s responsibility; aircraft previously modified to earlier specs must be reworked. The change aims to prevent single‑rod failure and is enforced by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
