Effective Date (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective December 14, 2010. Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-500 airplanes, serial numbers 50000005 through 50000118, 50000120, 50000122 through 50000126, 50000128, and 50000131, certificated in any category. Subject (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 36: Pneumatic. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: It has been found the occurrences of failure of the Flow Control Shutoff Valve (FCSOV) in the closed position. Failure of the two valves (left and right) can cause the loss of the pneumatic source, and lead to loss of the cabin pressurization. Since this condition affects flight safety,a corrective action is required. Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD. The MCAI requires replacing both FCSOVs with new and improved FCSOVs. Actions and Compliance (f) Unless already done, at the next scheduled maintenance check or within 12 months after December 14, 2010 (the effective date of this AD) or within 600 hours time-in-service after December 14, 2010 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, replace both flow control shutoff valves, part number (P/N) 1300230-13 and P/N 1300230-23, with P/N 1300230-15 and P/N 1300230-25. Do the replacements following EMBRAER Phenom Service Bulletin 500-21-0001, dated December 9, 2009.
