for the engine bleed air duct. This AD is applicable to certain EMBRAER 
Model EMB-135 and -145 series airplanes. This AD requires replacing the 
four GAMAH clamp/sleeve joints on an engine bleed air duct with new 
threaded coupling assemblies; for certain airplanes, this AD also 
requires replacing the two supports for the engine bleed air duct with 
two new supports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2003-12-04,

sleeve joints on an engine bleed air duct with new threaded coupling 
assemblies; for certain airplanes, that AD also requires replacing the

bleed air duct. The correct part number is 145-35923-015.
