Requirement: Replace the placards and opening handles containing instructions for opening the type III escape hatches with either:
1. New "betalight" placards in accordance with Brazil CTA AD 90-11-02R2; or
2. Phosphorescent placards in accordance with Embraer Service Bulletin 120-25- 0220.

Background: The phosphorescent paint used on the placards and handles of the escape hatches has been found in some cases to be below the required level of brightness. In the case of an emergency evacuation, this condition could affect passenger safety.
Amendment 1 is issued in response to a revision of the related CTA AD which requires replacement of the "betalight" placards after 7 years of operation, in compliance with MRB Report, Section 3, Chapter 25, Task 25-21.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 3 February 1992.
