DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. FAA-2012-0566; Directorate Identifier 2011-SW-008-AD;
Amendment 39-17065; AD 2012-11-02]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Helicopters
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was
published in the Federal Register. The AD applies to certain Eurocopter
Deutschland GmbH (Eurocopter) Model EC135 helicopters. The reference to
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 91.173 in the Required
Actions section is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all
other respects, the original document remains the same.
DATES: This final rule is effective August 13, 2013. The effective date
for AD 2012-11-02 (77 FR 37790, June 25, 2012) remains July 10, 2012.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
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 address for the
Docket Office (phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility,
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2012-11-02, Amendment 39-17065 (77 FR
37790, June 25, 2012), applies to certain Eurocopter Model EC135
helicopters. AD 2012-11-02 currently requires, in part, visually
checking the ring frame which connects the tail rotor Fenestron housing
to the tailboom for a crack before further flight and thereafter at
each preflight check, and allows this check to be performed by a pilot
if certain regulatory recordkeeping requirements are met. As such, AD
2012-11-02 currently includes the following as the last sentence under
paragraph (f)(1): ``The record must be maintained as required by 14 CFR
91.173, 121.380, or 134.439.''
As published, the reference to 14 CFR 91.173 is incorrect. The
correct reference is to 14 CFR 91.417.
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.
