In the preamble, on page 19028, in the third column; under “Comments Received”, line 9, remove the sentence: “These comments state that this passenger had been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy¹ a few months prior to the flight and that, if an AED had been on board, it may have saved his life.”, and add, in its place, the following sentences, to read as follows: “After his death it was learned that the passenger had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.¹ Commenters state that, if an AED had been on board, it may have saved his life.”
