14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 93-NM-216-AD; Amendment 39-8973; AD 94-15-02]

 

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 Series 
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
a reference to a service bulletin called out in the above-captioned 
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register 
on July 20, 1994 (59 FR 36932). A typographical error in the service 
bulletin reference resulted in a reference to a service document that 
does not exist. This action is necessary to ensure that certain 
necessary repairs are performed in accordance with appropriate service 
instructions.

DATES: Effective August 19, 1994.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
the regulations was previously approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register as of August 19, 1994 (59 FR 36932, July 20, 1994).
    The incorporation by reference of McDonnell Douglas Alert Service 
Bulletin A54-31, dated September 17, 1992, as listed in the 
regulations, was previously approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register of November 2, 1992 (57 FR 47991, October 21, 1992).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wahib Mina, Aerospace Engineer, 
Airframe Branch, ANM-121L, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, Los 
Angeles Aircraft Certification Office, 3229 East Spring Street, Long 
Beach, California 90806-2425; telephone (310) 988-5324; fax (310) 988-
5210.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness directive (AD) 94-15-02, 
amendment 39-8973, applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 
series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on July 20, 
1994 (59 FR 36932). Among other things, that AD requires inspections to 
verify the installation and tightness of the shear pins, shear pin 
retainers, and shear pin retainer attaching parts in the aft end of the 
center pylon thrust link, and repair, if necessary.
    As published, paragraph (a)(3) of that AD contained a reference to 
McDonnell Douglas MD-11 Alert Service Bulletin A54-31, Revision 1, as a 
source of service information related to accomplishing a repair of the 
shear pin retainer and attaching parts. Due to a typographical error, 
the issue date of that service bulletin was listed as ``June 3, 1994,'' 
rather than the correct date of ``June 3, 1993.'' (This date was cited 
correctly, however, in other portions of the rule that contained 
references to this same service bulletin.) As a result, the service 
bulletin referenced in paragraph (a)(3) of the published AD does not 
exist.
    Since it is essential that operators perform repairs in accordance 
with appropriate and available service instructions, this document 
changes the issue date of the service bulletin cited in paragraph 
(a)(3) of AD 94-15-02, amendment 39-8973, to read as: ``June 3, 1993.''
    The effective date of the rule remains August 19, 1994.
    Since no other portion of the regulatory information has been 
changed, the final rule is not being republished.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on August 11, 1994.
Darrell M. Pederson,
Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
