Airworthiness Directives; Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 
Series Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive 
(AD) 97-11-13, which was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 
1997 (62 FR 28999), and concerns Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 
series airplanes. The date of Fairchild Service Bulletin (SB) 227-24-
008 is incorrectly referenced in paragraph (a) of this AD. All other 
reference is correct. The AD currently requires modifying the 
electrical power generation system. This action corrects the AD to 
reflect the right date for Fairchild SB 227-24-008 throughout the 
entire document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 11, 1997.

Engineer, FAA, Airplane Certification Office, 2601 Meacham Boulevard,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On May 22, 1997, the FAA issued AD 97-11-13, Amendment 39-10042 (62 
FR 28999, May 29, 1997), which applies to Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and 
SA227 series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the electrical power 
generation system. Accomplishment of the proposed modifications as 
specified in the NPRM would be in accordance with the following service 
bulletins, as applicable:

--Fairchild Service Bulletin (SB) 226-24-027, Issued: May 19, 1988, 
Revised: February 22, 1989;
--Fairchild SB 227-24-008, Issued: March 18, 1988, Revised: February 
22, 1989;

[[Page 39429]]

--Fairchild SB 226-24-023, Issued: October 25, 1985, Revised: January 
23, 1989;
--Fairchild SB 227-24-005, Issued: October 25, 1985, Revised: January 
23, 1989;
--Fairchild SB 226-24-026, Issued: May 27, 1987;
--Fairchild SB 24-018, Issued: October 22, 1980, Revised: January 7, 
1981;
--Fairchild SB 226-24-031, dated July 27, 1989;
--Fairchild SB 227-24-012, Issued: May 4, 1989, Revised: July 27, 1989.

Need for the Correction

    Reference in paragraph (a) of AD 97-11-13 includes an incorrect 
date for Fairchild Service Bulletin (SB) 227-24-008. The date of this 
SB in paragraph (a) of this AD is Issued: October 25, 1985, Revised: 
January 23, 1989. The correct date should be Issued: March 18, 1988, 
Revised: February 22, 1989. All other reference in the AD is correct. 
As written, owners/operators of certain Fairchild SA227 series 
airplanes may not realize what service bulletin they would need to 
accomplish the actions of AD 97-11-13, and could not obtain Fairchild 
SB 227-24-008 based on the date that is currently printed in paragraph 
(a) of AD 97-11-13.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of May 29, 1997 (62 FR 28999), of 
Amendment 39-10042; AD 97-11-13, which was the subject of FR Doc. 97-
14076, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 29000, in the third column, section 39.13, the eighth and 
ninth lines in paragraph (a) of AD 97-11-13, correct ``Issued: October 
25, 1985, Revised: January 23, 1989,'' to ``Issued: March 18, 1988, 
Revised: February 22, 1989''.
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 97-11-13 and 
to add this AD correction to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).
    The effective date remains July 11, 1997.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 16, 1997.
