Wing repair records (SB550-57-0005)
Embraer found a quality escape in Structural Repair Manual 3858. The SB, dated Mar 22, 2022, asks owners to check the log book for any repair made using SRM revision 12 or earlier. Affected areas include wing skins, flap track fairings, aileron shrouds and winglets. If such a repair exists, contact the Embraer Contact Center.
SB compliance and cost
The SB is Category 02: Recommended. It was to be done within 750 flight cycles or 12 months of issue, whichever came first. Estimated labor for the Legacy 500 group is 3.5 man-hours of inspection, with no change to basic weight or moment and no parts needed. Ask the seller for proof the log book check was done.
Main-door sensor maintenance
Maintenance task 52-71-21 (manual revision 56, Jun 20/24) covers lubricating the main-door sensor mechanisms with MOLIKOTE DC-33 LIGHT. The procedure depends on whether SB 550-52-0006 is incorporated, since that decides whether a spring piston is fitted on the locked sensor support. Check that status and the lubrication records.

Safety notes
- Make the aircraft safe for maintenance before any work, as the maintenance task requires.
- Any wing repair logged under SRM revision 12 or earlier needs Embraer review. Do not assume it is acceptable.
- Treat the family maxima as upper limits only. Take real limits from the aircraft's flight manual.
