1. PLANNING INFORMATION 
A. SB EFFECTIVITY 
 Aircraft affected:
MODEL SN
Embraer 175( )
17000366, 17000376 thru 17000378, 17000381 thru 17000388,
17000390, 17000392 thru 17000513, 17000515 thru 17000523,
17000525 thru 17000580, 17000582 thru 17000586, 17000588
thru 17000592, 17000594, 17000595, 17000597 thru 17000601,
17000603, 17000604, 17000606 thru 17000719, and 17000721
thru 17000827, equipped with the affected component and Pre-
Mod of SB170-57-0072.
 Affected component:
 Left-Hand (LH) Wing Tip Spar 1 PN 171-16231-001 or PN 171-16231-003.
 Right-Hand (RH) Wing Tip Spar 1 PN 171-16231-002 or PN 171-16231-004.
NOTE: This effectivity list includes the aircraft that originally have the affected component installed, or
that replaced it during maintenance actions, or that installed it through the accomplishment of
SB170-57-0058.
 In-production effectivity:
The subject presented in this bulletin does not affect any in-production aircraft.
B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS 
 None.
C. REASON 
 (1) HISTORY
 Embraer received a report of Right-Hand (RH) wing tip loss in flight. The crew declared
emergency and the flight was diverted to a safe and uneventful landing. Aircraft had
approximately 15,000 Flight Hour(s) and 10,000 Flight Cycle(s) at the time of the event.
 Further Engineering analysis concluded that this event occurred due to premature crack
propagation on the forward spar (spar 1) of the enhanced wing tip. The preventive modification
for this issue is addressed in SB170-57-0072 (WINGS - WING TIP - SPAR 1 REPLACEMENT).
 Due to this event, it is necessary to inspect the spar 1 of the wing and wing tip for cracks, at the
region of their connections.

To inspect the spar 1 of the wing and wing tip, at the region of their connections. Also, if
necessary, to direct the corrective actions if any finding is found during the accomplishment of the
inspections given in this bulletin.
 (3) EXPECTED BENEFITS
 This inspection is to make sure that there is no crack(s) on the spar 1 of the wing and wing tip, at
the region of their connections, preventing the loss of the wing tip.
 (4) REVISION HISTORY
 None.
D. DESCRIPTION 
 This Bulletin is divided into 02 PARTS, as follows:
PART I LH SPAR 1 OF THE WING AND WING TIP - INSPECTION
Applicable to: 1.A. SB EFFECTIVITY
 The modification presented in PART I of this bulletin consists of inspect the spar 1 of the Left-Hand
(LH) wing and wing tip, at the region of their connections, to see if there is any crack(s) on them. Also,
if necessary, to direct the corrective actions if any finding is found during the accomplishment of the
inspections given in PART I of this bulletin.
 To do this, it is necessary to get access to the area of Left-Hand (LH) wing, and open access panel
551AB, and remove the wing tip fairing.
PART II RH SPAR 1 OF THE WING AND WING TIP - INSPECTION
Applicable to: 1.A. SB EFFECTIVITY
 The modification presented in PART II of this bulletin consists of inspect the spar 1 of the Right-Hand
(RH) wing and wing tip, at the region of their connections, to see if there is any crack(s) on them. Also,
if necessary, to direct the corrective actions if any finding is found during the accomplishment of the
inspections given in PART II of this bulletin.
 To do this, it is necessary to get access to the area of Right-Hand (RH) wing, and open access panel
651AB, and remove the wing tip fairing.
NOTE: The modification presented in this bulletin affects Fatigue Critical Structure (FCS).
E. COMPLIANCE 
1) SB CATEGORY
 
 Category 01: MANDATORY
 
NOTE: 1) The affected component list (spar 1 of the wing tip) includes the aircraft that originally
have the affected component installed, or that replaced it during maintenance actions, or
that installed it through the accomplishment of SB170-57-0058. Refer to the fleet
maintenance control record and verify if the spar 1 of the wing tip was replaced during
routine maintenance to determine the current flight-hours and/or flight-cycles of the
component.
2) The SB170-57-0072 is the final action for the repetitive inspections called in this bulletin.

NOTE:
1) For the purpose of this Service Bulletin, a Detailed Inspection (DET) is: “An intensive
examination of a specific item, installation or assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity.
Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity
deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, etc. may be
necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be required.”
2) If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can remove those parts. If you can get
access without removing identified parts, it is not necessary to remove all of the identified
parts.
