[Docket No. 96-CE-09-AD; Amendment 39-9872; AD 97-01-01]
RIN 2120-AA64


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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive 
(AD) 97-01-01, which was published in the Federal Register on January 
2, 1997 (62 FR 10), and concerns The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) 
PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes. The 
amendment number in this AD is incorrectly referenced as Amendment 39-
9782 instead of 39-9872 in two places. All other reference is correct. 
The AD currently requires repetitively inspecting the main gear 
sidebrace studs for cracks, and replacing any main gear sidebrace stud 
found cracked. This action corrects the AD to reflect the right 
amendment number throughout the entire document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 23, 1996, the FAA issued AD 97-01-01, Amendment 39-9872 
(62 FR 10, January 2, 1997), which applies to Piper PA24, PA28R, PA30, 
PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitively 
inspecting the main gear sidebrace studs for cracks, and replacing any 
main gear sidebrace stud found cracked.

 Need for the Correction

    The amendment number in this AD is incorrectly referenced as 39-
9782, instead of 39-9872, in two different places. All other reference 
is correct. As written, operators of Piper PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, 
PA34, and PA39 series airplanes may log compliance with the right AD 
number, but the wrong amendment number, therefore causing the potential 
for confusion as to whether they are in compliance with the AD.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of January 2, 1997 (62 FR 10), of 
Amendment 39-9872; AD 97-01-01, which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-
33231, is corrected as follows:


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 11, in the third column, section 39.13, the 12th line from 
the top of the column, correct ``Amendment 39-9782'' to ``Amendment 39-
9872''.
    On page 14, in the second column, section 39.13, in paragraph (h) 
of the AD, the 24th line from the bottom of the column, correct ``(39-
9782)'' to ``(39-9872)''.
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 97-01-01 and 
to add this AD correction to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).

    The effective date remains February 7, 1997.
    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on March 26, 1997.
