14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 93-CE-61-AD; Amendment 39-9386; AD 95-20-07]


Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Formerly 
Piper Aircraft Corporation) PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 
Series Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

 
[[Page 57334]]

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
95-20-07 concerning The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA24, PA28R, 
PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 airplanes, which was published in the 
Federal Register on October 5, 1995 (60 FR 52073). That publication 
incorrectly references who may accomplish the inspections of the left 
and right main gear side brace studs. The AD currently requires the 
inspection ``* * * by a facility approved by the FAA. * * *'' The 
Federal Aviation Administration's intent is to have this inspection 
accomplished ``by a facility or person authorized by the FAA. * * *'' 
This action corrects the AD to reflect this change.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 17, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Marsh, Aerospace Engineer, 
FAA, Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office, Campus Building, 1701 
Columbia Avenue, suite 2-160, College Park, Georgia 30337-2748; 
telephone (404) 305-7362; facsimile (404) 305-7348.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 28, 1995, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) issued AD 95-20-07, Amendment 39-9386 (60 FR 
52073, October 5, 1995), which applies to Piper PA24, PA28R, PA30, 
PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitively 
inspecting (using dye penetrant or magnetic particle methods) the main 
gear side brace studs for cracks, and replacing any cracked main side 
brace stud.
    The AD incorrectly references who may accomplish the inspections of 
the left and right main gear side brace studs. AD 95-20-07 currently 
requires the inspection ``* * * by a facility approved by the FAA. * * 
*'' The Federal Aviation Administration's intent is to have this 
inspection accomplished ``by a facility or person authorized by the 
FAA. * * *'' This action corrects the AD to reflect this change.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations have incorrectly referenced who 
can accomplish the main side brace stud inspections. The way the final 
regulations are currently written will prevent certain qualified 
mechanics from accomplishing the main side brace stud inspections, 
which is not the FAA's intent.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of October 5, 1995 (60 FR 52073) of 
Amendment 39-9386; AD 95-20-07, which was the subject of FR Doc. 95-
24713, is corrected as follows:
    In the last line of the third column on page 52073, and continuing 
on the first two lines of the first column on page 52074, replace ``* * 
* accomplished at a facility that is approved by the FAA to perform 
either dye penetrant or magnetic particle inspections'' with ``* * * 
accomplished by a facility or persons authorized by the FAA to perform 
either dye penetrant or magnetic particle inspections.''


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 52075, in the third column, in Sec. 39.13, in lines 8 
through 11 of paragraph (a) of AD 95-20-07, replace ``Inspections must 
be accomplished by a facility approved by the FAA to accomplish the 
applicable inspection method.'' with ``Inspections must be accomplished 
by a facility or persons authorized by the FAA to accomplish the 
applicable inspection method.''
    On page 52077, in the second column, in Sec. 39.13, in lines 4 
through 7 of paragraph (c) of AD 95-20-07, replace ``Inspections must 
be accomplished by a facility approved by the FAA to accomplish the 
applicable inspection method.'' with ``Inspections must be accomplished 
by a facility or persons authorized by the FAA to accomplish the 
applicable inspection method.''
