Embraer EMB-145 Maintenance Fix
If you operate or maintain an Embraer EMB-145 airplane, the FAA proposes to replace AD 2006-20-08 with a new airworthiness directive that continues the required repetitive inspections for cracking or failure of the rod ends and fittings of the aileron power control actuator and any needed corrective actions. The proposed AD also corrects an error in a maintenance task number as specified in the referenced ANAC AD.
