The Federal Aviation Administration has published a proposed rule requiring owners and operators of certain Embraer EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes to replace the seal on the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) compartment door.
Why it matters: This is a specific, technical maintenance requirement for a small fleet of older regional jets. It does not affect the general public or other aircraft types. Its practical significance is limited to the mechanics and operators of these specific Embraer models, who will need to budget for the part and labor to comply once the rule becomes final.
Who it affects
- Owners and operators of Embraer EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes
