COWLING - ATS VENT GRILLE

Description
Embreaer (HEAI) quality assurance team found an aircraft in

production line with the ATS vent grille assembled in wrong
orientation
Investigation
The non-conform parts had the honeycomb glued to the frame in

the opposite orientation (quality escape originated at Hurel –
AERnnova supplier)
Flight
Direction
Correct Incorrect
IN SERVICE ISSUES
COWLING - ATS VENT GRILLE

Solution
AERnnova mitigated this quality escape in production line
Embraer and AERnnova purged theirs warehouses from non-

conform parts
SB 145-54-0012-REV.01 and 145LEG-54-0005-REV.01 were

issued to inspect and, if required, replace the ATS vent grille
SB effectivity (ERJ-145 family, Legacy 600 and Shuttle): All

aircraft up to 14501109
Factory incorporated for S/N 14501110 and on

IN SERVICE ISSUES
FQI - BLACKENED TERMINALS

Description
Reports about discoloration of the sleeve around the terminal of

the Fuel Quantity Indication System (FQIS) harnesses
Some operators noticed this blackened area and they assumed

it was an evidence of overheating
IN SERVICE ISSUES
FQI - BLACKENED TERMINALS

Investigation
In order to compare the discoloration with overheating condition, it

was intentionally overheated/burnt a controlled sample on
laboratory by applying excess of electrical current
An analysis of the dark-colored wires was then performed to

determine the nature of the dark coloration and it was concluded
that such spectrum did not match with the dark residue (field
events)
Conclusion
There is no need to replace the FQIS harnesses if the findings are

limited to the discoloration issue
SNL145-28-0017 was release in order to provide the operators

with guidelines in case of blackened area on FQIS harnesses is
found
IN SERVICE ISSUES
ENG INLET – LIPSKIN CORROSION

Description
Premature pitting corrosion observed along the engine air inlet

(lipskin surface)
Solution
Identified quality escape, according to SNL 145-71-0004
Approved Xzillon 3 (Granitize) to be applied on mirror-finished
surfaces
Immediately after polishing (refer to AMM II 51-21-01-7)
Prolonged parking (refer to AMM II 10-10-02/2)
IN SERVICE ISSUES
FUEL SOV – RELIABILITY ISSUES

Description
The reliability metrics of the Fuel SOV are indicating that the
number of removals increased
Typical gate-type fuel SOV, common to the ERJ-145 family
The SOV fits 14 different positions in the Legacy 600 and 5

positions in the Shuttle
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Investigation
Analyzed 40 valves removed between 2009 and 2010
73% failed in auxiliary tank vent valve position
In majority of failures in field, the motors were found “weak”, “have

a noisy signal trace”, intermittent” or “failed”
The motors deficiencies were a result of silicone contamination

originating from the silicone oil used to lubricate the bearings on
the motor
Figure 1 – Torque motor - Commutator bars Figure 2 – Commutator bars – Contamination traces
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Investigation (cont’d)
The silicone oil migrates from bearing and form deposits with the
graphite brush residue on the motor commutator bars preventing
good electrical contact
Valves in position with higher cycling

are less susceptible to failure, because
the operation wipes the deposits from
the graphite brush
Conclusion: Replace the existing motor by a new one (silicone free)

IN SERVICE ISSUES

Solution
Positions more susceptible to fail (auxiliary vent valves)
SB145LEG-28-0033 released in Aug/2011 - FOC
Remaining positions – Upgrade on attrition basis
Motor related failure under warranty (3 years): FOC
Non-motor related failure under warranty: USD 3,000.00

(reduced price)
New SOV will be introduced in the next IPC revision (estimated to

4Q2011)
Released the PIL 145-28-0023 in Aug/2011

HSD x TELEPHONE INTERFERENCE

Description
Field reports informing that the telephone (Iridium) system is
being affected by interference from the HSD (Inmarsat) system
Difficulty to complete calls when the HSD is in operation
Calls dropping-off when the HSD is transmitting
Internet antenna Telephone antennas
Iridium constellation: 66 low-orbit satellites

Inmarsat constellation: 3 or 4 high-orbit satellites
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Investigation
Operational spectrum of the Iridium and the Inmarsat are
marginal, consequently nuisances may interfere in each other
operation
Due to characteristic of the Iridium network, the telephone is more
susceptible to fail due to this interference, resulting in telephone
inoperability
Inmarsat Iridium Inmarsat

1530 1559 1610 1626,5 1660,5
IN SERVICE ISSUES

The installation of Iridium filter did not present satisfactory results
after it was implemented in one aircraft thru the SB 145LEG23-
0032
New tests were performed to connect the preferred line to the
SDU
X
IN SERVICE ISSUES

This solution was tested in aircraft equipped with Honeywell HSD
showing satisfactory results
The preferred line was used for 2 hour and no discrepancies
The preferred line was not susceptible to interference as it does
not compete with the Internet system
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Situations where the interference
is still happening
The preferred line is in use
(Inmarsat)
The HSD is in use
The aircraft attitude is
unfavorable
The second line (Iridium) is in
use
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Solution
From S/N 1132 and on, the aircraft are being delivered with
preferred line #1 connected to the voice channel of SDU
Embraer is performing further tests to validate this solution with
Chelton
The studies shall be concluded in 4Q2011

APU SHUNT - ELEC BONDING

Description
APU current dropping on MFD (electrical page), but no message on
EICAS
~14 events in regional fleet and 2 events in Legacy 600
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Description (cont’d)
The degradation of electrical bonding may progress to a structural
and/or wire damage
Figure 1 – Wiring damage Figure 2 – Structural damage

IN SERVICE ISSUES

Investigation
Deterioration process that leads to poor
electrical contact is progressive and
cumulative
Poor contact on APU generator shunt leads to
a high current flow through the shield of a
wiring that sends the electrical current signal to

PAX CABIN - LED FLICKERING

Description
Field reports of upwash and/or downwash LEDs flickering
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Investigation
Some affected LED tracks were sent back to supplier (EMTEQ)
for analysis
A quality escape on the LED production was identified, however,
there are no effective means to isolate the affected batches
The LEDs installed on the S/N 965 to 1110 may present this
symptom
Solution
It is recommended that customers which are facing this LED
flickering issue to contact his Field Support Representative in
order to schedule the replacement of the entire LED kit P/N
LEGACYELWK-503
IN SERVICE ISSUES

Solution (cont’d)
There is one kit available in FLL to support the US fleet
There will be no Service Bulletin for this replacement
It is done thru IPC, upon kit availability
Aircraft S/N 1111 and on are equipped with B/E Aerospace LED
which is not susceptible to this flickering issue
EMTEQ and B/E Aerospace LEDs are not interchangeable
(different hardware – harness and connectors)

PAX HANDRAIL - PEELING-OFF

Description
Some reports about chrome peeling off on passenger door
handrails
Bubbles are raising under chromium plating. The surface presents
a wrinkled aspect
IN SERVICE ISSUES
PAX HANDRAIL - PEELING-OFF

Probable Causes
Premature chromium peeling-off may be an evidence of quality
escape
Some products induce damages on chrome plating
Chlorine-based products, degreasing solvents and abrasives
Calcium chloride applied on runways to prevent ice formation
Solution
The recommendation, for aesthetic reasons, is the part
replacement
Specific maintenance procedures to clean and preserve the aircraft
chrome surfaces should be included in AMM (estimated for
1Q2012)
