ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an 

airworthiness directive (AD) that 

published in the Federal Register. That

LTIO–540–J2B in table 1 of the 

Applicability, paragraph (c), section are 

incorrect. This document corrects that 

error. In all other respects, the original
