The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to the products listed above. The numbering of paragraphs (j)(3), (j)(4), and (j)(5) in the Material Incorporated by Reference section is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

A correction restates part of an AD that was published incorrectly. It is not an additional requirement and it does not change the AD number or its effective date.

Full official abstract

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD requires installing a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) backup battery, replacing the supplement pilot's operating handbook and FAA approved airplane flight manual, and replacing the FADEC backup battery every 12 calendar months. This AD was prompted by an incident where an airplane experienced an in-flight engine shutdown caused by a momentary loss of electrical power to the FADEC. We are issuing this AD to prevent interruption of electrical power to the FADEC, which could result in an uncommanded engine shutdown. This failure could lead to a loss of engine power.
