14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0076; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-241-AD; 
Amendment 39-15246; AD 2007-22-10]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register 
on November 1, 2007 (72 FR 61796). The error resulted in an error in an 
airplane series number identified in Table 2 of the AD. This AD applies 
to all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, 
and A340-600 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed 
visual inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right 
hand) wing MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair 
or replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.

DATES: Effective November 16, 2007.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The street address for 
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is the Document 
Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket 
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New 
Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 24, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2007-
22-10, amendment 39-15246 (72 FR 61796, November 1, 2007), for all 
Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and 
A340-600 series airplanes. The AD requires repetitive detailed visual 
inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right hand) wing 
MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair or 
replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.
    As published, Table 2 of the AD states that certain repetitive 
inspection intervals apply to Model ``A300-300 series airplanes, except 
WV27.'' That sentence contains a typographical error and, instead, 
should state that those repetitive inspection intervals apply to Model 
``A340-300 series airplanes, except WV27.''
    No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; 
therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains November 16, 2007.
