[Docket No. FAA-2016-6940; Notice No. 29-039-SC]


Special Conditions: Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI), Model 
525 Helicopters; Crew Alerting System (CAS)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting the special condition published on 
November 9, 2016 which became effective on December 9, 2016 for the 
BHTI Model 525 helicopter. This helicopter has a novel or unusual 
design feature associated with the electronic CAS. The applicable 
airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety 
standards for this design feature. The special conditions contain the 
additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary 
to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the 
existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective Date: May 31, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 9, 2016, the FAA published a final special condition 
entitled ``Special Condition: Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI), 
Model 525 Helicopters; Crew Alerting System (CAS).'' 81 FR 78707. In 
that final special condition, the FAA inadvertently used the incorrect 
format for the notice number in the header information of the special 
condition as 29-039-SW-SC. The correct notice number is 29-039-SC.

Correction

    In the final special condition, FR Doc. 2019-27088, published on 
November 9, 2016 at 81 FR 78707 make the following correction:
    1. On page 78707, in column one, in the heading of the final 
special condition, revise ``Notice No. 29-039-SW-SC'' to read as 
``Notice No. 29-039-SC''.
