## Summary

The FAA is updating safety rules for Embraer ERJ 190-300 and -400 airplanes because their flight manuals had a mistake in the takeoff calculations. Pilots must update their manuals with the new, corrected version by February 17, 2026, to keep flying safely. This fix helps avoid risks without big costs but must be done on time to keep planes in the sky.

## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-300 and -400 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an inconsistency identified in the takeoff calculation module of the computerized airplane flight manual (CAFM). This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate a new CAFM version. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

## Effects PRIA read

- Fix AFM Takeoff Calculations: benefit, high. If you operate an Embraer ERJ 190-300 or ERJ 190-400 airplane, you must revise the airplane flight manual to incorporate CAFM version 2.0 (or later) by February 17, 2026. This corrects an inconsistency in the takeoff calculation module that could otherwise cause the airplane to be unable to overcom…
- Low One-Time Compliance Cost: cost, low. If an affected Embraer airplane is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in the future, the FAA estimates the required AFM revision will take 1 work-hour at $85 total per airplane. That $85 estimate is the FAA's projected cost per product to accomplish the required action.
- No Immediate U.S. Impact: benefit, low. The FAA states there are currently no U.S.-registered Embraer ERJ 190-300 or -400 airplanes, so there are no immediate compliance costs for U.S. operators; the AD nevertheless becomes effective February 17, 2026 if an affected airplane is later registered. The FAA will accept comments on this AD th…
