Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an inadvertent error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-12-13 that was published in the 
Federal Register on June 26, 2002 (67 FR 42985). The inadvertent error 
resulted in reference to an incorrect address for service information. 
This AD is applicable to all Boeing Model 727 series airplanes. This AD 
requires a review of maintenance records or a one-time test to 
determine if elevator hinge support ribs on the trailing edge of the 
horizontal stabilizer are made from a certain material, and follow-on 
repetitive inspections for corrosion or cracking of the elevator hinge 
support ribs, if necessary. For airplanes with the affected ribs 
installed, this AD eventually requires replacement of all affected ribs 
with new, improved ribs.

DATES: Effective July 31, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-12-13, 
amendment 39-12785, applicable to all Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on June 26, 2002 (67 
FR 42985). That AD requires a review of maintenance records or a one-
time test to determine if elevator hinge support ribs on the trailing 
edge of the horizontal stabilizer are made from a certain material, and 
follow-on repetitive inspections for corrosion or cracking of the 
elevator hinge support ribs, if necessary. For airplanes with the 
affected ribs installed, this AD eventually requires replacement of all 
affected ribs with new, improved ribs.
    As published, paragraph (h) of that AD contained an incorrect 
address for obtaining copies of service information. Paragraph (h) of 
that AD identifies Airbus Industrie, 1 Rond Point Maurice Bellonte, 
31707 Blagnac Cedex, France, as the appropriate address for obtaining 
copies of service information. However, the correct address is Boeing

Commercial Airplane Group, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, Washington 98124-
2207.
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, 
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains July 31, 2002.


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 42989 of AD 2002-12-13, in the third column of paragraph 
(h) on the fourth line following the table, correct the sentence, 
``Copies may be obtained from Airbus Industrie, 1 Rond Point Maurice 
Bellonte, 31707 Blagnac Cedex, France,'' to read ``Copies may be 
obtained from Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, 
Washington 98124-2207.''

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on July 29, 2002.
