1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2025-06-09 Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.): Amendment 39-22997; Docket No. FAA-2025-0471; Project Identifier MCAI-2024-00467-T. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective April 14, 2025. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to all Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Model ERJ 190-300 and ERJ 190-400 airplanes, certificated in any category. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing gear. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of a MAU 3B failure which led to brake fault advisory messages followed by loss of normal braking that was undetected until the brakes were pressed by the pilots. The FAA is issuing this AD to address certain failures of modular avionics units that may lead to an undetected loss of normal brakes scenario until brake pedals are pressed by the pilots. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to a runway excursion, due to the pilots having only a short time available to respond. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Requirements Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2024-08-01, effective August 19, 2024 (ANAC AD 2024-08-01). (h) Exceptions to ANAC AD 2024-08-01 (1) Where ANAC AD 2024-08-01 refers to its "effectivity date," this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
