## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of the web aft face of the forward pressure bulkhead for any cracking and discrepancy; and modification of the forward pressure bulkhead, which would terminate the repetitive inspections. This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the forward bulkhead is subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
