14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. 95-NM-223-AD; Amendment 39-9894; AD 97-02-09]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects information in an existing
airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing Model 727 series
airplanes, that currently requires inspections to detect cracking of
the actuator rib fitting of the inboard door of the main landing gear
(MLG); and various follow-on actions. This action corrects a reference
to the amendment number of a previously-issued AD, which was superseded
by AD 97-02-09.
DATES: Effective March 4, 1997.
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 7, 1997 (62 FR 3988, January 28, 1997).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 14, 1997, the FAA issued AD 97-
02-09, amendment 39-9894 (62 FR 3988, January 28, 1997), which is
applicable to all Boeing Model 727 series airplanes. That AD requires
inspections to detect cracking of the actuator rib fitting of the
inboard door of the main landing gear (MLG); and various follow-on
actions. It was prompted by a report of a fractured rib fitting that
had been reworked in accordance with one of two existing AD's. The
actions specified by that AD are intended to prevent damage to the
airplane caused by a failure of the landing gear to extend due to a
fractured rib fitting.

Actions Since Issuance of the AD
Since the issuance of AD 97-02-09, the FAA has become aware of the
fact that certain references made to the amendment number of AD 93-01-
14, which appeared throughout the preamble of AD 96-02-09, its
amendatory language, and the rule itself, were incorrect. The
referenced amendment number that appeared in the published version of
the AD was ``amendment 39-8368;'' however, the correct amendment number
correlating to AD 93-01-14 is ``amendment 39-8468.''
Corrections Necessary to the Current AD
The FAA has determined that it is appropriate to take action to
correct AD 97-02-09 by revising all references to the amendment number
of AD 93-01-14 to specify ``amendment 39-8468.'' Since AD 97-02-09
supersedes AD 93-01-14, this correction is necessary in order to ensure
that the proper amendment number is removed from the regulations as a
result of this supersedure.
Action is taken herein to correct the error and to correctly add
the AD as an amendment to Sec. 39.13 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13). The effective date of the rule remains
March 4, 1997.
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished.
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
In the issue of January 28, 1997, beginning in the third column of
page 3989 and continuing to the first column of page 3990, the
amendatory language, as well as the introductory text of the rule that
specifies pertinent agency numbers and the airplane manufacturer, are
corrected to read as follows:
* * * * *
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. Section 39.13 is amended by removing amendment 39-6433 (55 FR
601, January 8, 1990); and by removing amendment 39-8468 (58 FR 5574,
January 22, 1993); and by adding a new airworthiness directive (AD),
amendment 39-9894, to read as follows:
97-02-09 Boeing: Amendment 39-9894, Docket 95-NM-223-AD. Supersedes
AD 90-02-19, amendment 39-6433; and supersedes AD 93-01-14,
amendment 39-8468.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on February 19, 1997.

Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification
Service.
