This Airworthiness Directive requires inspections and corrective actions on the Rudder II skin, hinge fittings, attachment fasteners and control rods of all Embraer EMB-135 and EMB-145 aircraft, by following the steps set out in ANAC AD 2005-09-02R2. Operators and owners must complete the referenced work by the compliance times in that document because wear or failure can cause rudder flutter, structural failure, or jamming.

Background:	Following reports of rudder vibration, wear has been found in the rudder-II attachment flange bushings and upper, intermediate, and lower hinge fittings. There has also been excessive freeplay on the rudder-II lower control rod clevis end-to-rod attachment. The failure of multiple hinges can result in flutter on the rudder-II and subsequent structural failure. Failure of the control rods can result in jamming of the rudder-II.
