Aircraft Maintenance Manual - AMM
General
A. The Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) has been prepared in accordance with Air Transportation
B. The AMM is produced in two parts:
• PART I - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION SECTION (SDS) - pageblock 0 (pages 1 to 99);
• PART II - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES (MPP) - pageblocks 100 to 800 (pages 101 to 899).
The subject matters of the AMM, Parts I and II, are issued in separate volumes.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual - PART I
The SDS presents a detailed description and explanation of the location, configuration, function, operation and control of
the complete system (chapter), its subsystems and sub-subsystems. These descriptions enable the operator/
mechanic/trainee to understand the three levels of overall construction, operation and function to the extent necessary to
allow adequate performance of maintenance and fault isolation of the system, subsystem or sub-subsystem.
Shop level maintenance information is contained in either the Component Maintenance Manual or the vendor’s Overhaul

Revision00
Manual.
A. System Description Section Content
(1) The SDS comprises Part I of the AMM, pageblock 0 (pages numbered 1 to 99) for all of airframe and
powerplant systems. This section explains the location, configuration, function, operation, and control of the
complete system and its subsystems. The SDS explains the interrelationships between the subsystems, sub-
subsystems, and units of the complete system. It contains an overview of some maintenance practices to be used
for training in the classroom.
(2) The SDS information for each complete system, its subsystem and sub-subsystem is arranged in 5 standard
paragraphs (modules), as follows:
(a) Introduction
It describes the purpose of the system, subsystem, and sub-subsystem with illustrations that provide their
location or overview. The pur-pose generally relates to the function of the system, subsystem, and sub-
subsystem.
(b) General Description
It describes the system, subsystem and subsubsystem work to accomplish their purposes and their
relationships with other systems/components, if applicable.
(c) Components

Revision00
It describes the major assemblies and their units (all replaceable components - LRU (Line Replaceable
Unit)s), providing a detailed explanation of these assemblies.
(d) Operation
In this module, the system, subsystem, or subsubsystem presentation is completed with a text that provides
the maintenance technicians, even the less skilled ones, with sufficient information that enable them to
acquire a comprehension of the system general operation.
(e) Training Information Points

(4) Chapter Arrangement
(a) The chapter numbering system is a functional breakdown of the entire aircraft based on the standard ATA
100. It uses a three element number, the elements being separated by dashes. Each element contains two
digits, corresponding to Chapter/System, Section/Subsystem and Subject/Unit.
Eg. - The first pair of digits is assigned ATA-21-20-00 and designates the Chapter/System.
The second pair of digits designates the Section/Subsystem. The first element is a division of data which
permits a system classification to be further subdivided. When in manual format, a subsystem is identified
with a publication as a Section within a Chapter and together with its sub-subsystem identifier, is assigned
the second element of the equipment identifier.
For example: 21-20-00 ie: 21 identifies the Air Conditioning (system) 20 identifies the Distribution
(subsystem) and 21-24-00 would identify the Recirculation (sub-subsystem).
NOTE: The third element in the SDS is always -00.
3. Illustration
A. An illustration (or illustrations) is prepared to support the section.
B. The figure illustrates a callout of the aircraft area where the component is located, with zone identification.
4. Effectivity
A. The SDS effectivity information is placed in the effectivity block located in the lower margin of each page. When
a page applies to all aircraft, the word ALLis found in the effectivity block. If the information does not apply to all

Revision00
aircraft, the effectivity text (physical feature) to which the information does apply is indicated. For example: ON
ACFT WITH VENTRAL AIR BRAKE.
B. Paragraph-level effectivity differences are shown in one of two ways: either by the addition of a lead-in effectivity
statement above the heading or at the beginning of affected paragraphs. If the effectivity statement is above the
heading, the effectivity applies to all of the text up to the next heading. If the effectivity statement is at the beginning
of a paragraph, the effectivity applies only to that paragraph.
C. The figure effectivity is given in the effectivity block at the bottom of the page.
D. The following forms of differentiating the effectivity of section, texts, figures, and tables may be found:
(1) Certification Authorities

(2)
Example: JAA-CERTIFIED ACFT
(2) Specific Equipment or Component
Example: ON ACFT WITH AIRSTAIRS
(3) Equipment Manufacturers
(4) Aircraft Configuration
(5) Service Bulletins:
(a) PRE-MOD SB: Aircraft covered by the Service Bulletin effectivity, which do not have the relevant modification(s)
incorporated.

Revision00
(b) POST-MOD SB: Aircraft whose operator has accomplished the Service Bulletin or which have the relevant
modification(s) factory incorporated.
E. For better understanding, the various aircraft equipment and furnishing configurations have been divided into
LAYOUTS
(for example A, B, C, etc.) according to their effectivities.
These LAYOUTS are exclusively used in the Manuals.
5. Revisions
A. Revisions of the System Description Section are issued by chapter and can be of two types: temporary revision
and
normal revision.
B. The temporary revision implies an urgent nature and is issued when it is necessary to advance information to
the
operators prior to the next scheduled revision.
C. Temporary revisions will be printed on a paper of a different color (yellow) from that used for the Manual and will
always be incorporated in the first normal revision following its publication.
D. The normal revisions include definite changes to the Manual. They are distributed as additions to or supersedure
of pages and the dates of their issues are footnoted.
E. A list of effective pages is provided for the chapter revised. Pages revised or added by the current revision are
indicated
by an asterisk (*). Pages deleted by the current revision are indicated by del *. Pages deleted by the
previous revision are indicated by del.

Revision00
F. When texts or art in illustrations are revised, a black bar appears in the page left-side margin, beside the revised,
added, or deleted material. A bar beside the page number or the section title and the printing date indicates that
neither the text nor the illustration have been changed, but the material has been relocated to a different page or a
totally new page has been added.
G. The pages revised by Customer Originated Changes will be identified in the right side of the text paragraph by a
COC (Customer Originated Changes) symbol and a black bar in the left side of the text paragraph.
6. Customer Originated Changes
A. Customer Originated Changes are changes incorporated into the SDS at customer request to reflect data or
procedures
originated by and peculiar to that specific customer.
They will permanently identified by the COC symbol on the right side of the text paragraph and a black bar on the
left
side of the paragraph.
Embraer is not responsible for the validity and/or the technical accuracy of material so identified. Embraer will not
undertake to test or evaluate, in any form, the validity or the technical accuracy of the customer originated material.
The customer has the sole and exclusive responsibility for the validity and accuracy of materials submitted for
incorporation

referencing these numbers.
d Steps for assuring that the component / system is in satisfactory adjustment and is functioning within established
performance standards subsequent to the installation or reactivation are included in proper sequence in the
procedure.
e Illustrations show the quantity of the components installed.
f The step Make sure that the aircraft is in the same configuration as it was at the end of the removal task (AMM
TASK XX-XX-XX-XXX-XXX-X) is a reminder to the operator that there is no need to prepare the aircraft for
maintenance because this has already been done during the removal task.
(e) Pageblock 500 - Adjustment/Test
1 The adjustment / test portion provides all procedures and parameters to evaluate the operational efficiency and
integrity of a system, subsystem, unit, component or interrelationship of parts that perform a functional operation.
2 The definitions of three categories of applicable tests are given below:

Revision00
a Operational Test (AMTOSS Function Code - 710)
That procedure required to ascertain only that a system or unit is operable. These tests require no special equipment
or facilities other than those installed on the aircraft and are comparable to the tests performed by the flight crew. It is
not intended that the operational test of the unit meets the specifications and tolerances ordinarily established for
overhaul, or major maintenance periods.
b Functional Test (AMTOSS Function Code - 720)
That procedure required to ascertain that a system or unit is functioning in all aspects in accordance with minimum
acceptable system or unit design specifications. These tests require supplemental ground support equipment and are
more specific and detailed than an operational test. It contains all necessary information to perform proficiency tests to
maintain system or unit reliability at an acceptable level, without reference to additional documents.
c System Test (AMTOSS Function Code - 730)
That procedure containing all adjustment specifications and tolerances required to maintain system and / or unit
performance at maximum efficiency and design specifications. It is self-contained and may duplicate other tests. It is
normally used at major maintenance periods.
3 Test tasks are entitled under one of the categories above:
Example: Aileron Position Indicating System - Operational Test

Ignition System - Functional Test
Autopilot Flight Director System - System Test
NOTE: The terms OPERATIONAL TEST/ FUNCTIONAL TEST are equivalent to

the terms OPERATIONAL CHECK/ FUNCTIONAL CHECK.

Revision00
In order to standardize these terms with AMM MPP XX-XX-XX/501
Pageblock and with the terminology used in the MSG-3 Documentation,
the following criterion has been adopted: - OPERATIONAL TEST/ FUNCTIONAL
TEST in AMM tasks.
(f) Pageblock 600 - Inspection/Check
1 Inspection / Check presents the detailed procedures required to ascertain the serviceability of a part, assembly,
system, specific interrelationship of parts that perform a functional operation, etc.
2 Levels of serviceability are covered where separate acceptability standards for different degrees of maintenance
exist. If an adjustment / test is required prior to inspection, the specific adjustment / test required is specified.
3 If test and / or support equipment is required to support an Inspection / Check procedure, it is listed in tabular form at
the beginning of the procedure. Any prerequisite operations, inclusive of panel or plate openings, that must be
performed prior to the use of a particular Inspection task will be appropriately referenced. Plate and / or panel opening
instructions are provided for each plate
and / or panel number or where one does not exist, each part’s basic (no item variant) Illustrated Parts Catalog,
catalog sequence number.
4 Inspection procedures relative to this heading pertains to In-Service / Service Wear maintenance type limits, and the
general standards and specific procedures to evaluate and establish serviceability relative to manufacturer’s Design
Wear
Tolerances. Procedures required to ascertain serviceability is written in step-bystep logical workflow sequence,
presented in graphic form when possible.
Methods, techniques and equipment other than those covered in the Nondestructive Testing Manual, whether it be
visual, magnifying glass, dye-penetrant, borescope, radioisotope, etc., is specified and included herein. Coverage also

Revision00
includes critical stress areas other than those covered in the Structural Repair Manual where defects or cracks are
most likely to be detected, the nature and maximum allowable extent of these defects, and when applicable, reference
the
recommended nondestructive testing procedures for each area.
5 Based on the known possible results of the Inspection / Check, each possible conclusion allows for the following
coverage:
• Acceptable for continued operation (meets the recommended limits).

• Repairable in accordance with specific repair procedures, which is referenced
therein.
• No longer serviceable or repairable for all areas of inspection.
6 Views of the basic part are illustrated and noted for all areas of inspection.
(g) Pageblock 700 - Cleaning and Painting
1 Cleaning / painting specifies the methods and processes required for cleaning and/or painting specific parts or areas.
Step-by-step procedural instructions follow a logical workflow sequence. Pre-warnings necessary to ensure safety of
personnel and cautions to prevent material damage are included as necessary. Materials are identified by generic names,
by MIL or AMS specification number and other national standards.
2 At the beginning of each cleaning / painting procedure, all cleaning and/ or painting agents / materials required are
listed. If cleaning and / or painting agents are known to be detrimental to any parts or a portion of a component, a caution
is specified.
(h) Pageblock 800 – Repair

Revision00
1 Repairs include detailed step-by-step repair processes and specifications in a logical workflow sequence as required to
restore a worn or damaged part to serviceable condition. Repair procedures depict the level of restoration required for the
specified level of maintenance.
C. AMTOSS
(1) General
(a) AMTOSS has been designed to improve the organization of the Maintenance Practices and Procedures
(MPP) and to facilitate Automated Data Retrieval. Additionally, and separate from the MPP, it provides for a
Production Management Data Base (PMDB) that permits the customer to use the data in an Electronic Data
Processing (EDP) program for integrating, interfacing, isolating, and coordinating aircraft maintenance task
accomplishment, job requirements, and resource support analysis.
(b) AMTOSS is based on the concept of using a standard and unique numbering system that is an
expansion of the ATA Chapter - Section - Subject. AMTOSS is responsive to the disciplines of all
maintenance support elements, and provides numerical identity for work requirements that normally contain
incremental work steps (subtasks) for accomplishment.
(c) The AMTOSS numbering system for tasks and subtasks provides:
• The identity of the part being worked on through the Equipment Identifier;
• The maintenance function that is being performed;
• The applicability of the task or subtask.
(2) AMTOSS Task and Subtask Numbering System

Revision00
(a) To separate different maintenance functions that can be performed on the aircraft, the MPP procedures
relating maintenance functions, including Standard Practices, are prepared by assigning a unique task
/subtask number to each action.
(b) The numbering system, which is an expansion of the ATA three-element numbering system, consists of
seven elements. The following describes each element of the number and how it performs its specified
function. Refer to Figure 1:
Element Nos. 1, 2, 3 (Equipment Identifier)

These elements comprise the equipment identifier.
Element No. 4 (Function Code)

The fourth element is the three-digit function code, which defines the maintenance function being performed
by tasks or subtasks. A table of functions and their assigned function codes is shown in Table 5. Additionally,
function code 900is
used as a dummy number to tie like removal and installation task numbers together.
3 Element No. 5 (Sequential Order)
The fifth element is a three-digit number used to create unique numbers for all tasks or subtasks, which are
similarly numbered through the first four elements.
Tasks are numbered from 801 through 999. Subtasks are numbered 001 through 800. In the event that more
than 199 task numbers are required, alphabetical characters are used in the 3rd digit of element No. 5.
4 Element No. 6 (Configuration)
The sixth element is a three-digit alphanumeric identifier (subtask) and alphabetic identifier (task) used to
uniquely identify differences in configuration, methods / techniques, variations of standard practices
applications, etc.

Revision00
5 Element No. 7
The seventh element is assigned by the operator to identify airline unique tasks
and / or subtasks.
(c) Only task numbers have the first three elements depicted on the printed page.

FAULT ISOLATION MANUAL (FIM)
1. General
A. The FIM provides information on how to use the Fault Isolation Manual to isolate and correct the faults that may
occur on the aircraft. It also gives the terms, definitions and recommended maintenance practices for performing
troubleshooting.
B. This section also gives the path from the aircraft faults to the fault isolation tasks. However, it does not focus on
giving definitions and detailed explanations of the structure of the manual or fault categories. You can find this
information in the introduction to the FIM (FIM INTRODUCTION).
C. The instructions contained in this section are intended to be used mainly by the ground crew. The flight crew and
flight attendants should refer to the introduction to the Fault Reporting Section ( FIM FAULT REPORTING SECTION
INTRODUCTION).
D. The aircraft faults are divided into four major categories as follows:
(1) Crew Alerting System (CAS) messages.

(2) Observed faults.
(3) Cabin faults.
(4) Maintenance messages on the CMC.

Revision00
2. How to Find a Task in the Fault Isolation Manual
To find the appropriate fault isolation task in the Fault Isolation Manual, you should follow these instructions:
On the CAS MESSAGES LIST of the Fault Reporting Section, look for the CAS message you have in the CAS
MESSAGE (TYPE) column.
NOTE: If you already know the chapter that relates to this CAS message, you can also go directly to the smaller
CAS MESSAGES LIST found in front of each chapter.
The first three digits of the fault code correspond to the ATA chapter (system) and subsystem to which that fault
message belongs.
Go to the ATA chapter for this CAS message.
In the FAULT CODE column of the FAULT CODE INDEX, at the front of each chapter, look for the fault code that
corresponds to the CAS message you have.
The FAULT DESCRIPTION column will provide you with the text of the CAS message and the GO TO FIM TASK
column will give you the AMTOSS task references (if any).
If there are CMC maintenance messages correlated to the CAS message, they will be shown on a table adjacent to
the CAS message. The CORRELATED MAINTENANCE MESSAGE CODE column will show the correlated CMC
messages, and the GO TO FIM TASK column will give you the AMTOSS task references.

Revision00
The FAULT CODE INDEX found in the beginning of each chapter gives you the CAS messages and the list of
correlated maintenance messages that point to the cause of each CAS message. However, if there are no
maintenance messages correlated to a CAS message on any of the Flight Deck Effects views of the CMC screens,
you must look for uncorrelated occurrences of the maintenance messages found on the FAULT CODE INDEX on
the other CMC maintenance messages views. These include, as applicable, the maintenance messages list of the
ACTIVE, PRESENT LEG and HISTORICAL (BY DATE or BY ATA) options of the CMC (ACTIVE MAINTENANCE
MESSAGES and STORED MAINTENANCE MESSAGES screens).

Revision00
Revision00
Observed faults
Think of the names of the system or subsystem that has a fault. To find the fault code in the FAULT CODE column
of the OBSERVED FAULTS LIST that is in the Fault Reporting Section, look for the applicable fault in the SYSTEM,
COMPONENT/ SUBSYSTEM and FAILURE DESCRIPTION columns. The faults are given in an alphabetically
ordered list, in this form:
SYSTEM, SUBSYSTEM – Failure
NOTE: If you already know the chapter that relates to this observed fault, you can also go directly to the smaller
OBSERVED FAULTS LIST found in front of each chapter.

Cabin faults ( when you do not have the fault code)
NOTE: If you already have an appropriate fault code extracted from the Fault Reporting Section, go to item (d)
below.
1 On the CABIN FAULTS LIST of the Fault Reporting Section, there is an alphabetically ordered list of faults,
grouped by the systems shown in Table 7. Choose the most appropriate system and look for the fault you have in
the FAILURE column. You will find the corresponding fault code in the respective FAULT CODE column, and the
corresponding fault isolation task to be performed in the respective GO TO FIM TASK column.
NOTE: If you already know the chapter that relates to this cabin fault, you can also go directly to the smaller CABIN
FAULTS LIST found in front of each chapter.

1 In the CABIN FAULT CODE INDEX of the Fault Reporting Section, find the fault code you have in the FAULT
CODE column. In the GO TO FIM TASK column, find the associated fault isolation task to be performed.
Maintenance (CMC) messages
NOTE: This procedure is applicable for both correlated and uncorrelated maintenance messages.
1 The first four digits of the maintenance message fault code provided by the CMC corresponds to the ATA chapter
and section for the fault.
2 Go to the appropriate chapter and, in the MAINTENANCE MESSAGE INDEX, find the fault code in the FAULT
CODE column. Then find the fault isolation task in the GO TO FIM TASK column.
NOTE: The CMC may give you the reference to the FIM task in the DOCUMENTS field either on the
MAINTENANCE MESSAGE DETAIL screen or on the maintenance message FDE DETAIL screen (only for FDE-
correlated maintenance messages).
If you access the CMC from a notebook PC with the Remote Terminal and the Embraer Digital Technical Data
applications installed, just click on the task reference on the CMC screen and the appropriate task will automatically
show on the notebook screen. For more information, refer to AMM TASK 45-45-00-970-803-A/200.
