SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Airworthiness Directive 2011-01-53, amendment 39-16582 (76 FR 4056, January 24, 2011), currently requires an immediate functional test of the fuselage drain holes, and requires sending a report of the results to the FAA. The AD also allows, with noted exceptions, for the return/position of the airplane to a home base, hangar, maintenance facility, etc. for PIAGGIO AERO INDUSTRIES S.p.A Model PIAGGIO P-180 airplanes.

As published, the Piaggio service bulletin number specified in the Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) section is incorrect.

No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being published in the Federal Register.

The effective date of AD 2011-01-53 remains January 24, 2011.

Correction of Regulatory Text

§ 39.13

[Corrected]

In the Federal Register of January 24, 2011, on page 4058, in the first column, paragraph (k)(2) of AD 2011-01-53, the Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) section is corrected to read as follows:

(2) Accomplishment of Piaggio Service Bulletin (ALERT) No. 80-0324, dated December 20, 2010, in its entirety provides an acceptable level of safety to the actions of this AD and thus is considered an approved AMOC for AD 2011-01-53.

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on February 7, 2011.

Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
