SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On June 24, 1997, the FAA issued AD 97-14-01, Amendment 39-10058 
(62 FR 35670, July 2, 1997), which applies to Pilatus Britten-Norman 
Ltd. (PBN) BN-2A and BN-2A Mk 111 series airplanes. This AD requires 
inspecting the left-hand (LH) rudder bar assembly for wall thickness of 
the slider tube unit and modifying the rudder bar assembly by replacing 
the LH slider tube with a new strengthened slider tube unit.

Need for the Correction

    This AD currently has the wrong issue date of August 18, 1997. The 
last sentence of the AD reads ``Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on 
August 18, 1997.'' This is the effective date of this AD and was 
repeated as the issue date by mistake.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of July 2, 1997 (62 FR 35670), of 
Amendment 39-10058; AD 97-14-01, which was the subject of FR Doc. 97-
17098, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    In AD 97-14-01, the issue date before the signature block of the 
AD, Federal Register page number 35672, third column should read 
``Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on June 24, 1997''.
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 97-14-01 and 
to add this AD correction to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).
    The effective date of the AD remains August 18, 1997.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on July 2, 1997.

Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
