ACTION: Airworthiness directives:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340- 200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 Series Airplanes

DATES: Effective November 16, 2007.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2007 (72 FR 61796). The error resulted in an error in an airplane series number identified in Table 2 of the AD. This AD applies to all Airbus Model A330200, A330300, A340200, A340300, A340500, and A340600 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed visual inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right hand) wing MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair or replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.

SUMMARY: Airbus,

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

On October 24, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2007- 2210, amendment 3915246 (72 FR 61796, November 1, 2007), for all Airbus Model A330200, A330300, A340200, A340300, A340500, and A340600 series airplanes. The AD requires repetitive detailed visual inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right hand) wing MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair or replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.

As published, Table 2 of the AD states that certain repetitive inspection intervals apply to Model ``A300300 series airplanes, except WV27.'' That sentence contains a typographical error and, instead, should state that those repetitive inspection intervals apply to Model ``A340300 series airplanes, except WV27.''

No other part of the regulatory information has been changed; therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.

The effective date of this AD remains November 16, 2007. Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
In the Federal Register of November 1, 2007, on page 61799, Table 2 of AD 20072210 is corrected to read as follows:
* * * * *
[[Page 64533]]
Table 2.Repetitive Inspection Intervals
