Airworthiness Directives; Reims Aviation S.A. Model F406 
Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive 
(AD) 2001-23-07, which was published in the Federal Register on 
November 15, 2001 (66 FR 57364), and concerns certain Reims Model F406 
airplanes. The FAA incorrectly referenced the AD number as ``AD 2001-
01-07'' instead of
    ``AD 2001-23-07.'' This AD requires repetitive inspections of the 
canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area for cracks, 
and, if cracks are found, immediate repair of the cracks or 
modification of this area depending on the extent of any cracks found. 
This AD also requires modifying the canted rib upper cap at a certain 
time period as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This 
action corrects the AD to reflect the correct AD number.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of this AD remains January 7, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On November 6, 2001, FAA issued AD 2001-01-07, Amendment 39-12504 
(66 FR 57364, November 15, 2001), which applies to certain Reims Model 
F406 airplanes. This AD currently requires repetitive inspections of 
the canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area for 
cracks, and, if cracks are found, immediate repair of the cracks or 
modification of this area depending on the extent of any cracks found. 
This AD also requires modifying the canted rib upper cap at a certain

time period as terminating action for the repetitive inspections.

Need for the Correction

    We incorrectly referenced the AD number as ``AD 2001-01-07'' 
instead of ``AD 2001-23-07.'' If we did not correct the AD number, then 
the logbooks of the affected airplane would reference compliance with 
the wrong AD.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of November 15, 2001 (66 FR 57364), of 
Amendment 39-12504; AD 2001-01-07, which was the subject of FR Doc. 01-
28571, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 57364, under heading 14 CFR part 39, in the second column, 
the 22nd line from the bottom of the page; and on page 57366, in 
Sec. 39.13, in the second column, the 1st line from the top of the 
page, correct ``2001-01-07'' to ``2001-23-07''.
    Action is taken herein to correct these references in AD 2001-23-07 
and to add this AD correction to Sec. 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).
    The effective date remains January 7, 2002.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 15, 2001.

This packet is not an airworthiness determination and not legal or maintenance advice. AircraftDirectives reproduces official records and condenses their wording for easier reading. It does not decide, certify or imply whether any aircraft, engine, appliance or part is airworthy, compliant, affected by this directive, or eligible for return to service. No inspection, approval, or determination of any kind is performed or implied by this document.

Section 1 is a reading aid, not the rule. It is our own plain-language condensation, written to help a reader find the relevant directive quickly. It is NOT a substitute for the regulation, it may omit conditions, exceptions, compliance times, alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) and applicability limits, and it has no legal force whatsoever. Only the official text governs. Where Section 1 and Section 2 differ in any respect, Section 2 - and the official source it was retrieved from - controls absolutely.

Responsibility remains with the owner/operator. Under 14 CFR §91.403 and §91.417 the owner or operator is responsible for maintaining airworthiness and for required records; under §39.7 no person may operate a product to which an airworthiness directive applies except in accordance with that directive. Determining applicability to a specific serial number and configuration, and performing or supervising any required action, is the responsibility of the owner/operator and appropriately certificated personnel.

Accuracy and currency. Section 2 was retrieved at the time stamped above and is reproduced without edit; Federal Register material is a work of the United States Government. Directives are amended, corrected and superseded over time, and this sheet is a snapshot, not a live record - it does not update after printing. Re-check the official sources before acting on it. This packet is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not sell parts and have no commercial interest in any action a directive may require.
