Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-24-05 that was published in the 
Federal Register on December 3, 2002 (67 FR 71808). The typographical 
error resulted in identification of certain airplanes in the 
applicability of the AD as having serial numbers instead of line 
numbers. This AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes. This AD requires detailed inspections to detect cracking and 
corrosion of the upper chord of the rear spar of the wing; and repair, 
if necessary. This action also requires detailed inspections to detect 
and permanently repair any cracking that has been previously repaired 
by stop-drilling.

DATES: Effective December 18, 2002.

Branch, ANM-120S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 1601 Lind 
Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington, 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2131;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-24-05, 
amendment 39-12970, applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 series 
airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2002 
(67 FR 71808). That AD requires detailed inspections to detect cracking 
and corrosion of the upper chord of the rear spar of the wing; and 
repair, if necessary. That AD also requires detailed inspections to 
detect and permanently repair any cracking that has been previously 
repaired by stop-drilling.
    As published, the applicability section of the AD specifies, 
``Model 727 series airplanes, serial numbers 1 through 1832 inclusive; 
certificated in any category.'' Identification of the airplanes was 
inadvertently specified as ``serial numbers 1 through 1832 inclusive.'' 
The correct identification if ``line numbers 1 through 1832 
inclusive.''
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, 
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective of this AD remains December 18, 2002.
