FGCS Channels Engagement Verification will no longer be necessary with Epic Load 19.3
Effectivity: EMBRAER 170 / 190 Operators who incorporated Primus EPIC Load 19.3 (SB170-31-0019 and 190-310009R01) in their fleet will no longer be required to comply with SB 170-22-0003 and 190-22-002 FGCS (Flight Guidance and Control System) Channels Engagement Verification, according to AD 2006-11-02 and 2006-11-03, as soon as these ADs are revised. EMBRAER has recently sent a fax to the Authorities Department addressing this issue. The fax is about a proposal to include in the AD an option to install Load 19.3 in lieu of the repetitive verification on FGCS. EMBRAER is waiting a response for this request about this issue and, as soon as it is received, operators will be advised accordingly.

In case the above messages are active in the CMC, they will be correlated to the CAS message whenever a BLEED 2 OVERPRESS event occurs. The BLEED 2 OVERPRESS CAS message should be troubleshot according to FIM Task 36-1400-810-809-A. The solution is available through SB 19031-0009 Primus EPIC Field-loadable Software System Load 19.3 upload (CMC LDI Database V06) released in May 2007.

The correction for the EMBRAER 170 will be available in the next LDI version. Meanwhile, EMBRAER recommends for the EMBRAER 170 to perform the AMM Task 29-11-02-710-801-A - No. 1 and No. 2 Hydraulic System AlternatingCurrent-Motor Driven Pump - Operational Test and AMM Task 29-11-02-720-801-A - No. 1 and No. 2 Hydraulic System Alternating-Current-Motor Driven Pump Functional Test, when the ACMP 2B test is required. SNL 170-29-006 will be issued to cover this subject. Concerning the EMBRAER 190, the link of the ACMP 2B AUTO MODE is correct.

With the pitch trim position dashed, the flight crew will have the maintenance action for this report as described in MMEL 27-41-01 (Pitch Trim Position Indication on EICAS), (M) Maintenance and (O) Operational procedures, which must be performed to verify the Horizontal Stabilizer Control System with pitch trim position indication inoperative on the EICAS.

Strip Lights
Effectivity: EMBRAER 170 / 190 Some operators have observed that the photoluminescent strip lights may have the end caps detached during operation, which could increase the dust penetration into the sleeve.
Figure 3 Strip Lights
In view of the scenarios outlined above, SNLs 170-33-0015 and 190-33-0021 were issued to inform about the proper way to attach the end caps back to the sleeve and rework the inserts of the longer strip lights.
Figure 1 Strip Lights location
It was also observed that on long strip lights (the ones which have two photoluminescent inserts inside one sleeve) overlapping may occur between these two inserts due to the sliding movement generated by the usual aircraft movement and vibration.
The next AIPC revision will contain such information. Meanwhile, PIL 170-240030/ 190-24-0035 allows the Operators to install this new Static Inverter.
