accumulation of ice on the lower surface

of the wing aft of the protected area.

Need for the Correction

The AD incorrectly references the

‘‘* * * lower surface of the wing

* * *’’ instead of the upper surface of

the wing. Beech Models 99, 99A, A99A,

B99, C99, B200, B200C, 1900, 1900C,

and 1900D airplanes are designed with

the wings sitting low on the body of the

airplane, which would not allow the

pilot to visually check the lower surface

of the airplane during flight without

exiting the airplane.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication of May

7, 1996 (61 FR 20638), of Amendment

39–9589; AD 96–09–13, which was the

subject of FR Doc. 96–10723, is

corrected as follows:

§ 39.13 [Corrected]

On page 20639, in the second column,

§ 39.13, paragraph (a)(1) of the AD, line

10 from the top of the column, correct

‘‘—Accumulation of ice on the lower

surface’’ to read ‘‘—Accumulation of ice

on the upper surface’’.

Action is taken herein to clarify this

requirement of AD 96–09–13 and to add

this AD correction to § 39.13 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

39.13).

The effective date remains June 11,

1996.

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa

Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action makes a

correction to Airworthiness Directive

(AD) 96–09–12 concerning Empresa

Brasileiro de Aeronautico, S.A.

(EMBRAER) Models EMB–110P1 and

EMB–110P2 airplanes, which published

in the Federal Register on May 7, 1996

(61 FR 20636). That publication

incorrectly references a cue for the pilot

or crew member in severe icing

conditions. The AD currently requires

the pilot to follow certain visual cues

during flight in icing conditions and the

second of these cues requires the pilot

to look at the lower surface of the wing.

The word ‘‘lower’’ is wrong in the

second cue. The intent of the AD in

paragraph (a)(1), first bullet, second cue,

is to require the pilot or crew member

to look at the ‘‘upper’’ surface of the

wing. This action corrects the AD to

reflect this change.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 11, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 7,

1996, the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) issued AD 96–

09–12, Amendment 39–9588 (61 FR

20636, May 7, 1996), which applies to

EMBRAER Models EMB–110P1 and

EMB–110P2 airplanes. This AD requires

a revision in the Airplane Flight Manual

(AFM) by incorporating a warning into

the Limitations Section of the AFM.

Within this warning (in the first

bulleted paragraph) are cues for the

pilot to follow during flight in severe

icing conditions. The second cue

references accumulation of ice on the

lower surface of the wing aft of the

protected area.

Need for the Correction

The AD incorrectly references the

‘‘* * * lower surface of the wing

* * *’’ instead of the upper surface of

the wing. The EMBRAER Models EMB–

110P1 and EMB–110P2 airplanes are

designed with the wings sitting low on

the body of the airplane, which would

not allow the pilot to visually check the

lower surface of the airplane during

flight without exiting the airplane.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication of May

7, 1996 (61 FR 20636), of Amendment

39–9588; AD 96–09–12, which was the

subject of FR Doc. 96–10725, is

corrected as follows:

§ 39.13 [Corrected]

On page 20637, in the second column,

§ 39.13, paragraph (a) (1) of the AD, the

second to the last line from the bottom

of the column, correct ‘‘—Accumulation

of ice on the lower surface’’ to read ‘‘—

Accumulation of ice on the upper

surface’’.

Action is taken herein to clarify this

requirement of AD 96–09–12 and to add

this AD correction to § 39.13 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

39.13).

The effective date remains June 11,

1996.

Airworthiness Directives; Robinson

Helicopter Company Model R44 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to Robinson Helicopter

Company (Robinson) Model R44

helicopters, that requires an adjustment

to the low-RPM warning unit threshold

to increase the revolutions-per-minute

(RPM) at which the warning horn and

caution light activate, and revisions to

the R44 Rotorcraft Flight Manual that

prohibit flight with the throttle governor

(governor) selected off, except in certain

situations. This amendment is prompted

by an FAA Technical Panel Review of

Robinson accident history data which

revealed that main rotor (M/R) blade

stall at abnormally low M/R RPM

resulted in accidents. The actions

specified by this AD are intended to

minimize the possibility of pilot

mismanagement of the M/R RPM, which

could result in unrecoverable M/R stall

and subsequent loss of control of the

helicopter.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 2, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to

include an airworthiness directive (AD)

that is applicable to Robinson Model

R44 helicopters was published in the

Federal Register on February 2, 1996

(61 FR 3882). That action proposed to

require resetting the warning unit to

activate the warning horn and caution
