AD NUMBER: 2004-14-24
MANUFACTURER: Empresa
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2004-14-24
SUMMARY: This amendment supersedes an existing
airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Empresa
Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-120 series
airplanes, that currently requires measuring the gap between the
bellcrank and the body of the rotary variable inductive transducers
(RVITs) of the aileron and elevator, performing corrective action
if necessary, and torquing the bolt that attaches the bellcrank to
the RVIT shaft. This amendment requires replacing the aileron and
elevator RVIT bellcranks with new, improved bellcranks. The actions
specified by this AD are intended to prevent restricted movement of
the aileron or elevator, which could result in reduced
controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address
the identified unsafe condition.This amendment supersedes an
