14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0023; Directorate Identifier 96-CE-072-AD; 
Amendment 39-17688; AD 99-01-05 R1]

Airworthiness Directives; Various Aircraft Equipped With Wing 
Lift Struts

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that 
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to certain aircraft 
equipped with wing lift struts. The list of affected airplanes in the 
Applicability section is incorrect. Several Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model 
PA-18 airplanes were inadvertently omitted from the final rule; 
however, those models were included in the notice of proposed 
rulemaking. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, 
the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective January 14, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-
2013-00023; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 
docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, any comments 
received, and other information. The address for the Docket Office 
(phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility, U.S. Department 
of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 99-01-05 R1, 
Amendment 39-17688 (78 FR 73997, December 10, 2013), will require 
repetitively inspecting the wing lift struts for corrosion; 
repetitively inspecting the wing lift strut forks for cracks; replacing 
any corroded wing lift strut; replacing any cracked wing lift strut 
fork; repetitively replacing the wing lift strut forks at a specified 
time for certain airplanes; and incorporating a ``NO STEP'' placard on 
the wing lift strut.
    As published, table 1 of paragraph (c) in the Applicability section 
is incorrect. Several Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA-18 airplanes were 
inadvertently omitted from the final rule; however, those models were 
included in the notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the 
Federal Register on January 16, 2013 (78 FR 3356).
    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.
    The effective date of this AD remains January 14, 2013.
