14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0588; Directorate Identifier 2010-SW-074-AD; 
Amendment 39-16717; AD 2011-12-10]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company 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. That AD applies to Robinson 
Helicopter Company (Robinson) Model R22, R22 Alpha, R22 Beta, R22 
Mariner, R44, and R44 II helicopters. The paragraph reference in 
paragraph (b) of the Compliance section is incorrect. Paragraph (b) 
references paragraph (d), when it should reference paragraph (c). This 
document corrects that error. Additionally, the word ``inspection'' has 
been added in paragraph (b) for clarification. In all other respects, 
the original document remains the same.

DATES: The effective date of this final rule is March 5, 2012. The 
effective date for AD 2011-12-10 remains July 5, 2011.
    Examining the AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket on the 
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket 
Operations Office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, any 
incorporated-by-reference service information, the economic evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The street address for 
the Docket Operations Office (phone: 800-647-5527) is U.S. Department 
of Transportation, Docket Operations Office, M-30, West Building Ground 
Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2011-12-10, 
Amendment 39-16717 (76 FR 35330, June 17, 2011), currently includes the 
following paragraph (b) in the compliance section:
    ``(b) If you find any bare metal in the area of the skin-to-spar 
bond line, before further flight, inspect the blade by following the 
requirements of paragraph (d) of this AD.''
    As published, the reference to paragraph (d) is incorrect. The 
correct reference is to paragraph (c). Paragraph (c) contains the 
inspection requirements, and the incorrect

[[Page 12992]]

reference to paragraph (d) is confusing. We have also added the word 
``inspection'' to clarify that the requirements we are referring to are 
the inspection requirements, not the compliance times.
    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.
