Narrative:

Takeoff was rejected at approximately 60 KTS due to EICAS message 'stall protection system #1 (2) advanced' and 'stall protection system fail.' we then taxied back to the threshold and called maintenance via cell phone and advised soc via commercial radio. We were directed by maintenance to return to a gate for maintenance services. We returned to gate. The aircraft was svced by air carrier Y technicians who ran a stall protection system test routine. The tests were satisfactory and the aircraft was released for passenger service. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the embraer is a relatively new airplane and is entirely electronic and displays many electronic false or spurious EICAS warnings. The reporter said almost always the false warnings are cleared by pwring down and re-pwring the airplane. The reporter stated if the warning reappears, the system must be self-tested and if the self-test is ok, the warning can be cleared, as in this case.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN EMBRAER 145 ABORTED TKOF AT 60 KTS DUE TO EICAS WARNING STALL PROTECTION SYS #1 INOP. CAUSED BY A FALSE EICAS WARNING. SYS TEST OK.

Narrative: TKOF WAS REJECTED AT APPROX 60 KTS DUE TO EICAS MESSAGE 'STALL PROTECTION SYS #1 (2) ADVANCED' AND 'STALL PROTECTION SYS FAIL.' WE THEN TAXIED BACK TO THE THRESHOLD AND CALLED MAINT VIA CELL PHONE AND ADVISED SOC VIA COMMERCIAL RADIO. WE WERE DIRECTED BY MAINT TO RETURN TO A GATE FOR MAINT SVCS. WE RETURNED TO GATE. THE ACFT WAS SVCED BY ACR Y TECHNICIANS WHO RAN A STALL PROTECTION SYS TEST ROUTINE. THE TESTS WERE SATISFACTORY AND THE ACFT WAS RELEASED FOR PAX SVC. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE EMBRAER IS A RELATIVELY NEW AIRPLANE AND IS ENTIRELY ELECTRONIC AND DISPLAYS MANY ELECTRONIC FALSE OR SPURIOUS EICAS WARNINGS. THE RPTR SAID ALMOST ALWAYS THE FALSE WARNINGS ARE CLRED BY PWRING DOWN AND RE-PWRING THE AIRPLANE. THE RPTR STATED IF THE WARNING REAPPEARS, THE SYS MUST BE SELF-TESTED AND IF THE SELF-TEST IS OK, THE WARNING CAN BE CLRED, AS IN THIS CASE.
