[Docket No. 96-CE-36-AD; Amendment 39-9726; AD 96-18-02]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; American Champion Aircraft Corporation 
Models 8KCAB, 8GCBC, 7GCBC, 7ECA, 7GCAA, and 7KCAB Airplanes; 
Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
96-18-02, which was published in the Federal Register on August 28, 
1996 (61 FR 44157), and concerns American Champion Aircraft Corporation 
Models 8KCAB, 8GCBC, 7GCBC, 7ECA, 7GCAA, and 7KCAB airplanes. Reference 
to the Model 7GCAA airplanes in the Applicability section of that AD is 
incorrect (referred to as Model 7GCCA airplanes). All other reference 
is correct. The AD currently requires installing removable inspection 
hole covers for the wing front strut attach fittings, and replacing the 
wing front strut attach fittings with fittings of improved design. This 
action corrects the AD to reflect the correct airplane model 
designation in the Applicability section.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 20, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Karen Forest, Aerospace Engineer, 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Chicago Aircraft Certification 
Office, 2300 E. Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018; telephone 
(847) 294-7697; facsimile (847) 294-7834.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 20, 1996, the FAA issued AD 96-18-
02, Amendment 39-9726 (61 FR 44157, August 28, 1996), which applies to 
American Champion Aircraft Corporation Models 8KCAB, 8GCBC, 7GCBC, 
7ECA, 7GCAA, and 7KCAB airplanes. This AD requires installing removable 
inspection hole covers for the wing front strut attach fittings, and 
replacing the wing front strut attach fittings with fittings of 
improved design.

Need for the Correction

    Reference to the Model 7GCAA airplanes in the Applicability section 
of AD 96-18-02 is incorrect (referred to as Model 7GCCA airplanes). All 
other reference is correct. As written, operators of the American 
Champion Aircraft Corporation Model 7GCAA airplanes would not know that 
AD 96-18-02 applied to their airplanes if the Applicability section was 
the only part of the AD they referenced.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of August 28, 1996 (61 FR 44157), of 
Amendment 39-9726; AD 96-18-02, which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-
21746, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 44159, in the second column, Sec. 39.13, the Applicability 
section of the AD, the 34th line from the top of the column, correct 
``7GCCA'' to ``7GCAA''.
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 96-18-02 and 
to add this AD correction to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).
    The effective date remains September 20, 1996.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on September 10, 1996.

Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
