This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-11-12 concerning Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) Model C90A airplanes, which was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 1996 (61 FR 104). That publication incorrectly references two different effective dates for this AD. The AD currently requires two effective dates, June 24, 1996 and July 24, 1996. The intent of the AD is to require only one effective date. The Final Rule AD did not specify which effective date is required. This action corrects the AD to reflect this change.

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

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) Model C90A airplanes equipped with an optional Beech electric trim system or a Collins autopilot system. This action requires modifying the elevator electric trim tab actuator assembly. Failure of the elevator electric trim tab system on a Beech Model C90A prompted the proposed AD action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent possible failure of the elevator electric trim tab system, which, if not detected and corrected, could cause loss of airplane maneuverablity and possible loss of control of the airplane.
