## Discrepancy

CORROSION HAS BEEN FOUND ON THE AFT CARGO DOORWAY – FWD FITTING P/N 170-85492-403, CENTER FITTING P/N 170-85251-401, AND/OR AFT FITTING P/N 170-85493-403 ON SEVERAL COMPASS AIRCRAFT DURING BASIC CHECK. SINCE EMBRAER CLASSIFIES THESE FITTINGS AS PSES, COMPASS HAS CLASSIFIED REPLACEMENT OF THESE FITTINGS AS A MAJOR REPAIR. IN LIEU OF CONTINUING TO WRITE INDIVIDUAL EOS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT. THIS EO IS BEING ISSUED TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ON CONDITION REPAIR OF CORRODED OR DAMAGED AFT CARGO DOORWAY - FWD, CENTER, AND AFT LOWER SEAL REST FITTINGS BY PART REPLACEMENT. THE REPLACEMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED USING THE EMBRAER PRODUCTION DRAWINGS AND SRM CHAPTER 51 PROCEDURES. SINCE THE DAMAGED STRUCTURE IS BEING REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS PER THE PRODUCTION DRAWINGS, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE REMAINS IN ITS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION.

REV 2: THIS REVISION IS BEING ISSUED TO ADD A STEP BEFORE THE FINAL STEP TO ENSURE AN SDR WAS SUBMITTED FOR THIS REPAIR. REV 3: ENSURE THE MOD THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ACCOMPLISHED BY EO E17X-5300-007 REMAINS COMPLETED ON PARTS BEING REPLACED.
